Dallas had plenty of opportunities. That last timeout was crazy.
Avery Johnson is a very good coach, but I think he screwed up by giving fouls on Shaq in the overtime period. Putting your own team into the penalty early on purpose is just a bad idea, and they didn't even do it fast enough to force Shaq out for more than a few seconds. If they had a foul to give at the end of the game, maybe they could have stopped the Heat on the final possession.
