Dallas's Dirk Nowitzki shakes off illness to turn the heat on Miami

? Mavericks level NBA finals series with 86-83 victory
? Nowitzki steals show and puts LeBron James in shade

Dirk Nowitzki shook off illness to steer Dallas Mavericks to a series-levelling 86-83 win over the Miami Heat in the NBA finals.

Nowitzki had been struggling with flu in the build-up and although that showed for the first three quarters, he rose to the occasion in the final period, scoring 10 of his 21 points to see his side over the line to draw level 2-2 in the best-of-seven series.

No side have ever come from 3-1 behind to win in the finals but that would have been the challenge facing Dallas, who were 69-65 behind going into the fourth period before their late surge.

In contrast to Nowitzki's show-stealing flourish, the Miami star LeBron James contributed only eight points, a disappointing return as he made just three out of 11 shots.

James maintains his confidence has not dropped as low as his scoring totals in the NBA finals. The two-times MVP said he needed to be more assertive. "I got the ball in the post a few times, and I seen double teams," he said. "I tried to kick it out to guys and they've made shots for us.

"At the same time, I can't let that stop my aggression when they bring two on the ball. I still got to make plays for my team, but also make plays for myself to keep me in the rhythm of the game. I'm confident with my ability. It's about going out there and knocking them down. When you have the opportunity, you have to knock them down."

Dwayne Wade top-scored with 32 points in a losing cause and Chris Bosh added 24 more.

The teams meet again in Game Five on Thursday.

MLB Trade Deadline: Why Jose Reyes Isn't Going Anywhere

The trade deadline is on July 31 at four in the afternoon, eastern time. The New York Mets have already shown they will be sellers, not buyers, this year.

They've already dealt closer Francisco Rodriguez to the Milwaukee Brewers for two prospects yet to be named. Who will be leaving Flushing next?

It certainly won't be shortstop Jose Reyes. Jose Reyes, despite being currently on the disabled list for a short stint, has easily been the best player on the team. Perhaps even in the National League, or maybe even the entire Major League, in some peoples' eyes.

He leads the entire league in average, with a .354 mark. Despite being injured for a few games, he's tied for fifth in the league in runs with 65. He is also second in the league in stolen bases with 30.

Those are some very pretty numbers. He, David Wright, and Ike Davis are the three players the Mets should build around. Reyes is an integral part of the team.

He's been the best leadoff hitter in the game, is an outstanding shortstop defensively, and his speed and attitude brings a spark to the Mets that help give them life.

After owner Fred Wilpon's comments on Reyes, saying that if he thinks he's going to get Carl Crawford money, he's crazy, Reyes has came to life, and gone on a tear, more than a hot streak. He's been unstoppable for the Mets, turning in multi-hit game after multi-hit game.

So who will the Mets trade, you may ask? The Mets are planning to trade outfielder Carlos Beltran to a contender. They're almost sure to trade Beltran to another team.

If they trade Beltran and clear up some more money in that deal, the Mets will surely have enough money to support Reyes and most of the other team.

Reyes will not be going anywhere, Sandy Alderson would be crazy to trade his best player. Jose will remain a Met.
