  Dirk Nowitzki took an inadvertent elbow to the mouth early in the 4th 
    quarter and lost his right front tooth.  He briefly went to the locker 
    room and ended up only missing 33 seconds of game time.
  Dallas led 105-99 with 2:30 left and Tim Duncan scored the next 4 points 
    to pull San Antonio within 103-105 with 1:45 left.  Neither team scored
    over the next minute.  Shawn Bradley got an offensive rebound with 40 
    seconds left and Dallas ran some more time off the clock.  Michael
    Finley hit a 16-foot jumper with 21 seconds left.  Terry Porter got the
    quick layup with 16 seconds left.  Finley hit 1-2 free throws.  Antonio
    Daniels drove for the quick slam with 7 seconds left.  Nowitzki hit 2
    free throws to give Dallas a 110-107 with 6 seconds left.  Dallas
    intentionally fouled Duncan and Duncan hit the first and unintentionally
    missed the 2nd and the ball eventually ended up in Sean Elliott's hands,
    but Greg Buckner got the block and saved the ball to Finley.  Finley's 2
    free throws with 2 seconds capped the scoring.
  For the first time in the series, Dallas shot better than 40% FG.  Dallas
