The time came, 2011 NBA Finals, that they were to face Miami Heats, with their powerful trio-Wade, Lebron and Bosh. as it was expected, Miami took the whole first game leaving Mavs with 15 points behind. But the tables turned in Game 2, and this stirred for opinions on Nowitzki to change forever. He led the Mavs to a victorious game with a 95-93 points in their favor. Miami got back at them in the third game putting them 2 points behind. This did not startle Nowitzki a little as he guided the Dallas Mavericks to three straight wins and made a 4 to 2 2011 NBA Finals victory.

This was marked to be his most remarkable and legendary game he ever had. He ended every game owning 26 points and rebounds of 9.7, and finished the series with 45 2011 NBA Finals successful shots out of 46 free throws. The Heat’s great trio were no obstacles he was not able to run over. It was like a predestined omen that Heats would fall on their knees against Mavs.
