NBA Finals 2011: Will LeBron James or Dirk Nowitzki Close out Game 2?

Will Miami Heat or Dallas Mavericks Win Game 2 of the 2011 NBA Finals? 

Game 2 of the 2011 NBA Finals is set for tonight at 9:00 PM ET on ABC. The Miami Heat will host the Dallas Mavericks hoping to take a commanding two game lead. 

Game 1 was neck and neck and I don't expect Game 2 to be any different. Because it will be a close game one NBA super-star is going to have to be clutch late in the fourth. Neither team wants this to come down to a last second shot. 

Will Dirk Nowitzki showcase his heroics from previous post season games? Or will it be LeBron James that dominates late in the game once again?

I would love to make an off the wall guess and say that Dwayne Wade takes over tonight, but because he has struggled at times this post season. LeBron has been on top of his game in the playoffs, and tonight won't be any different. 

The Heat's defense will be on point in Game 2. Dirk wil of course produce at a high level and score close to 30 points, but late in the game LeBron James and Dwayne Wade will step it up defensively.

If this game does come down to a last second shot then expect LeBron to be the one to take it for the Heat, and Dirk will shoot it for the Mavericks. However, I don't think it will reach that point because of LeBron's big shots in the closing minutes.

Miami wins 95-89.
