Stackhouse
June 8, 2006
Jason Terry, who scored 32, became a household name Thursday but it was Jerry Stackhouse who put the finishing touches on the Mavericks' 90-80 home win over the Heat in Game 1 of The Finals. With Dallas leading by seven and 1:02 remaining, Stackhouse drained a pull-up jumper that increased the lead to nine and added two important free throws 30 seconds later. Stackhouse scored 13 and tallied eight Nestlé Crunch Time Points.

    Wade
    June 13, 2006
    The Heat faced a must-win Tuesday, and Dwyane Wade provided the ammo necessary to vault them back into The Finals. With his team down three, Wade dribbled around a screen and swished a 17-footer that brought Miami to within one with 1:16 remaining. Then with the Heat up one with 2.4 seconds left, he corraled a free throw miss by Dirk Nowitzki before drawing a foul. Wade then coolly stepped to the line to nail a free throw that put the Heat up two. On the ensuing possession, he broke up Dallas' alley-oop pass to the rim with 0.3 seconds left that clinched a 98-96 home win in Game 3. Wade totaled 42 points, 13 boards and eight Nestlé Crunch Time Points.

    Wade
    June 18, 2006
    With The Finals tied 2-2 and a return trip to Dallas looming, the Heat needed another huge game from Dwyane Wade. No. 3 began his late heroics by nailing two turnaround jumpers with 1:40 and 1:08 remaining in the fourth period to take the lead by two. With 2.8 ticks left on the clock, Wade drove left and drained a running bank shot to send the game into overtime. In OT Wade continued his barrage, drawing first blood in the extra period with yet another bank shot. The Miami superstar wasn't finished there, as he drove through the entire Maverick defense to draw a foul with 1.9 seconds left. Down one, Wade calmly strided to the line and sank two free throws to secure a 101-100 home victory in Game 5. Wade totaled 43 points, three steals and 12 Nestlé Crunch Time Points.

    Haslem
    June 20, 2006
    Yes, MVP Dwyane Wade proved to be the best player on the floor during The Finals, but the reason the Heat captured the first NBA title in their 18-year history had a lot to do with the play of Udonis Haslem. Haslem posted a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds in the decisive Game 6 as Miami polished off Dallas with a 95-92 victory Tuesday night. The power forward saved his best for last. With the Heat clinging to a one-point lead, he drained a crucial jumper that pushed the advantage to three with 1:21 left to play. Haslem also pulled down two key rebounds down the stretch to finish with seven Nestlé Crunch Time Points.
