"A win is a win, regardless of how you look at it," Alonzo Mourning said. "We
needed a win."
On the final play, Carter drove left toward the basket but had his shot
slapped away by Wade, who was helping Mourning protect the rim.
"I was hoping he didn't pull up and shoot a jumper, because he was on,"
Mourning said. "I wanted him to come to the hole, so I did the best I could. I
just jumped straight into the air. They could have called a foul. ... I didn't
think it was a foul, but things went our way this evening."
Carter thought a foul should have been called.
"There was a lot of contact on that play," said Carter, who was 14-of-21 from
the floor and finished with a game-high 32 points. "At least two guys hit me."
Wade, who had 23 points, drove on the Nets' Jason Kidd and was fouled — a
call that also didn't sit well with coach Lawrence Frank and the Nets. Wade made
the second of two free throws, setting up the game-ending drama.
Antoine Walker had 18 points and Gary Payton added 13 for the Heat.
