Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Miami's new LeBron James–Dwyane Wade–Chris Bosh core had taken Game 1 and appeared close to a 2–0 Finals lead. Dallas, back on this stage five years after losing the 2006 Finals to Miami, needed to keep the series from getting away before it shifted to Texas.

  • Miami led the series 1–0; Dallas was trying to avoid returning home in a two-game hole.
  • Dirk Nowitzki entered with a torn tendon in his left middle finger, an injury suffered during the Game 1 loss.
  • The matchup placed Nowitzki's search for a first championship opposite the first title attempt of Miami's newly assembled Big Three.
