Chris Bosh scored a tie-breaking jump shot with 39.6 seconds left as the Miami Heat held on for a 88-86 win over the Dallas Mavericks in game three of the NBA finals. Dwyane Wade finished with 29 points and 11 rebounds, LeBron James scored 17 points, and Mario Chalmers came off the bench to score 12 for the Heat who took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. "I have confidence in my shot and my teammates have confidence in me too," said Bosh. "I just have to let it go." <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/jun/wade.jpg" border="5" /> Miami Heat's Dwayne Wade scores during game three of the NBA finals against Dallas Mavericks in Dallas on Sunday. PIC/AFP Miami, who at one stage led by 14 points in the first half, had to toil for their victory as the Mavericks rallied for the second dramatic finish in a row. Wade got the ball in the final minute and was able to run the clock down before passing to Bosh who made the 16 foot jumper with just 39 second remaining in front of a sellout crowd of 20,340 at the American Airlines Center arena. Game four is on Tuesday in Dallas. Bosh took a finger in the eye from Jason Kidd in the first quarter but said after the game that he was OK. "We'll spit on it and put a Band-Aid on it and patch it up later," said Bosh who is the Toronto Raptors all-time leading scorer. Dirk Nowitzki scored 34 points for the Mavericks, who just fell short of pulling off another stunning come-from-behind victory.
