Mavericks coach Don Nelson -- the inventor of the ``hack-a-Shaq'' scheme -- ordered it used on three trips in the second quarter, hoping it'd disrupt Miami's offense enough to keep the Heat from making a late run.
It worked; O'Neal, a challenged foul shooter, made three of the six free throws earned by being fouled near midcourt by Alan Henderson and Calvin Booth, Miami's momentum slowed down the stretch and the Heat trailed 71-57 at halftime.

(0:00) [TBD] Instant Replay: Overturn Ruling
We had a 12 point lead before Hack-a-Shaq and a 14 point lead afterwards. I thought the idea stunk and it hurt the team. Two lane violations and two offensive rebounds by the Heat.
