Dallas owned a 68-65 edge at the start of the fourth and extended the margin to 77-68 three minutes in, behind a Tim Thomas three-point play and a Humphries layup.

The visitors hung tough and were within 85-82 after Evans' layup at the 4:30 mark. Terry then hit a pair of mid-range jumpers around a Quinton Ross basket to make it a nine-point game again.

Kidd's three-ball with a little over a minute to play proved pivotal, as the Kings made a trio of three-pointers in the final 24 seconds to force Terry to ice the game at the free throw line.
