Rundown: The big German saved his best for last, notching his highest point total of the series after scoring no more than 20 in the first four games. Nowitzki also chipped in nine rebounds, three assists and one steal.Ñ
Key stretch: 47 seconds in the fourth
That’s how long it took the Mavericks’ Jason Terry to sink a pair of 3-point shots from 25 feet. J.J. Barea got the assists on both buckets. Terry’s flurry began after the Spurs pulled within 11 on a drive by Tony Parker with 10:41 left. His first trey came with 9:55 left. After Tim Duncan scored on a 9-foot bank shot, Terry struck again, scoring with 9:08 left. The winner of the NBA’s Sixth Man Award this season finished with 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting, including a 3-of-5 effort from beyond the arc.
