The Heat is on (top); Wade sizzles again in 95-92 win

A hostile Dallas crowd saw the hometown Mavericks lose their fourth straight.
DALLAS (AP) -- Dwyane Wade dazzled Dallas one last time -- and with a sizzling four-game comeback, the Miami Heat are NBA champions for the first time.
Just as Shaquille O'Neal and coach Pat Riley predicted nine years apart, there will be a parade in South Florida.
Wade will lead it.
The man they call "Flash" had 36 points and 10 rebounds in the teeth of a hostile Dallas crowd, capping his magnificent playoffs by leading Miami past the Mavericks 95-92 Tuesday night as the Heat roared back from a two-game deficit to win the NBA finals in six games.
Wade cemented his superstardom with a dominant four-game performance capped by four pressure-packed, final-minute free throws in the same building where Miami lost the first two games of the finals.
More rings
Where there's a Wade, there's a will. His grace added a fifth ring to Riley's finger -- third-most among NBA coaches -- and a fourth to O'Neal's big hand.
"The great Pat Riley told us we were going to win today," O'Neal said after celebrating on the court with his family.
Dirk Nowitzki had 29 points and 15 rebounds for the Mavs, but Dallas couldn't manage the last basket it needed to topple Wade's tenacity.
The Heat finished their franchise's 18th season with one of the league's greatest rallies in a finals, and the final period of Game 6 was appropriately gritty.
Miami nursed a narrow lead, taking an 89-85 lead with 2:36 left on two jumpers by James Posey. Jerry Stackhouse cut the lead to a point with a 3-pointer in his first game back from suspension, but after Udonis Haslem and Josh Howard traded jumpers, Wade hit two free throws with 26 seconds left.
Key fumble
Erick Dampier then fumbled a pass on Dallas' next possession, and Wade fought to get the loose ball. He hit two more free throws with 17.7 seconds to play, but after Howard hit a pair, Wade missed two with 10.3 seconds left.
But Jason Terry missed a 3-pointer, and Wade flung the ball skyward as time ran out.
Miami hung on to the clincher in front of more than 20,000 Dallas fans still furious at every NBA official and commissioner David Stern for the Mavs' three losses in Miami last week. Owner Mark Cuban stoked the furor with his antics after Game 5, which resulted in a $250,000 fine earlier Tuesday.
But while the Mavs worried about every perceived slight, the Heat focused on fulfilling the promises of Riley and O'Neal.
The veteran coach promised a championship 11 years ago before his first stint on the Miami bench, while Shaq also guaranteed a trophy when the Los Angeles Lakers traded him to South Beach two summers ago.
Before everyone praises Riley for being right all along, here's something to consider:
Even he wasn't sure about the moves he made.
The Heat could have made it to the NBA finals with last season's roster. Plenty of people thought they would have if Wade hadn't been hurt in the Eastern Conference finals against Detroit.
But a "what if?" was never going to do for Riley, so he remade the team. Questions about the moves came immediately -- even from the guy who made them.
There's nothing left to question any more. Riley is back on top of the NBA, winning his fifth NBA title.
Riley was asked before the game why he was convinced the mixing and matching of the Heat roster would work, and he acknowledged that he had some of the same questions.
"I wasn't convinced then," he said. "I just felt that a lot of it had to do philosophically with the age of Shaquille and to be able to put talent and experience around him. I don't think we have the time to develop young players at the expense of him getting a year older."
