Nobody disputes that Amare was a factor in Phoenix's win. I propose, however, that it was a shift in Phoenix's offensive mentality against the zone that led to their eventual win.

Amare was an effective agent of that shift, no doubt, but the entire team attacked the zone more efficiently in the 4th. Add to that a lack of consistent offense from the Mavs, and you have an eventual loss for the Mavs.
