What an amazing game. Nowitzki was incredible. San Antonio guard Manu Ginobili sank a three-pointer to give San Antonio a three-point lead with 32 seconds left in the game. It was San Antonio’s first lead of the game, after trailing by as many as 20 points. For Mavericks fans, it felt like a dagger in the chest.
Game 7: 119 – 111 OT
Then, with 21 seconds remaining, Jason Terry passed around to Nowitzki on the perimeter. Nowitzki drove right at Spurs forward Bruce Bowen, who fouled him* as he went up for the shot. The shot went in and Nowitski made the free throw, tying the game. The Mavs stopped a Ginobili drive in the final seconds, and they shut down Tim Duncan in overtime to get the win.
Now onto the winner of the L.A. Clippers / Phoenix Suns Game 7, which is currently underway.
* UPDATE: The telecast attributed the foul to Bowen, but the ESPN post-game report attributes it to Ginobili.
UPDATE II: Phoenix it is.
