After absorbing the low blow that got Mavericks guard Jason Terry suspended, Michael Finley ignored the taunts from the Dallas fans who used to adore him and scored 16 points, helping the Spurs to a 91-86 victory Friday night that forces a Game 7.

Finley scored 10 points in the third quarter to help San Antonio hang close, then made the go-ahead basket on a 3-pointer from the right corner with 2:45 left.

Finley then defended Nowitzki on a missed 3-pointer that could've tied it with 6.9 seconds left. The off-balanced shot landed well short.

Now they get another chance at home Monday night.

"It's a strange situation for me, but this was a great game," Finley said.
