Question: Juwan Howard beat what team to win his first NBA Final?
Context: The 2002–03 NBA season was the Nuggets' 27th season in the National Basketball Association, and 36th season as a franchise.  Prior to the start of the season, the Nuggets acquired Marcus Camby and rookie Nenê from the New York Knicks.  After a 2–9 start to the season with new head coach Jeff Bzdelik, the Nuggets won three straight games, but then lost 15 of their next 16 games, which included a ten-game losing streak.  In December, James Posey was traded to the Houston Rockets in a three-team trade.  However, the team struggled posting a 14-game losing streak between February and March.  They lost their final eight games finishing last place in the Midwest Division and in the league with 17 wins and 65 losses, the franchise's worst record since 1997–98.  They also missed the playoffs for eight consecutive seasons.  Nenê was selected to the All-Rookie First Team.  Following the season, Juwan Howard signed as a free agent with the Orlando Magic. Juwan Antonio Howard (born February 7, 1973) is an American retired professional basketball player who currently serves as an assistant coach for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  Howard formerly played for the Heat from 2010 until 2013.  A one-time All-Star and one-time All-NBA power forward, he began his NBA career as the fifth overall pick in the 1994 NBA draft, selected by the Washington Bullets.  Before he was drafted, he starred as an All-American on the Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team.  At Michigan he was part of the Fab Five recruiting class of 1991 that reached the finals of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Men's Division I Basketball Championship in 1992 and 1993.  Howard won his first NBA championship with Miami in the 2012 NBA Finals and his second NBA championship in the 2013 NBA Finals. The 2012 NBA Finals was the championship series of the 2011–12 season of the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the conclusion of the season's playoffs.  The Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat defeated the Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder 4 games to 1 to win their second NBA title.  Heat forward LeBron James was named the Finals MVP. The 2001–02 NBA season was the Mavericks' 22nd season in the National Basketball Association.  It was also their first season playing at American Airlines Center.  During the offseason, the Mavericks acquired All-Star point guard Tim Hardaway from the Miami Heat.  The Mavericks continued to play solid basketball as Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash were both selected to the 2002 NBA All-Star Game for the first time in their careers.  At midseason, Hardaway was traded along with Juwan Howard to the Denver Nuggets for Nick Van Exel and Raef LaFrentz.  The Mavericks finished fourth in the Western Conference, and second in the Midwest Division with a 57–25 record, and made the playoffs in back to back seasons for the first time since 1988.  Nowitzki led the team in scoring and rebounds, while Nash led them in assists.  In the Western Conference Quarterfinals, the Mavericks swept the Minnesota Timberwolves in three straight games, but then lost the next series in five games to the Sacramento Kings. The 2004–05 NBA season was the Rockets' 38th season in the National Basketball Association, and their 34th season in the city of Houston.  During the offseason, the Rockets acquired All-Star forward Tracy McGrady and Juwan Howard from the Orlando Magic, acquired All-Star center Dikembe Mutombo from the Chicago Bulls, who acquired him from the New York Knicks, and signed free agent Bob Sura.  The Rockets struggled with a 6–11 start to the season, then played around .500 as they traded Jim Jackson to the New Orleans Hornets for David Wesley in late December.  The Rockets would later on win eight straight games in February, as McGrady and Yao Ming were both selected to play in the 2005 NBA All-Star Game at Denver.  At midseason, the team traded Maurice Taylor to the New York Knicks, and acquired Mike James from the Milwaukee Bucks. The 1994–95 NBA season was the Bullets' 34th season in the National Basketball Association.  During the offseason, the Bullets acquired Scott Skiles from the Orlando Magic and hired Jim Lynam as head coach.  After drafting Juwan Howard with the fifth pick in the 1994 NBA draft, the Bullets traded Tom Gugliotta to the Golden State Warriors for Howard's former "Fab Five" teammate at Michigan Chris Webber.  However, after a 4–1 start to the season, the Bullets struggled as they lost 25 of their next 28 games.  At midseason, things got worse as Kevin Duckworth was suspended indefinitely after 40 games for not staying in physical condition, where he weighed over 310lbs.  The Bullets posted a 13-game losing streak near the end of the season, and finished last place in the Atlantic Division with a 21–61 record.  Webber averaged 20.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. The 1957–58 NBA season was the franchise's third in St. Louis and the 12th season overall in the NBA.  Coming off their trip to the 1957 NBA Finals, the Hawks won the Western Division by 8 games with a record of 41 wins and 31 losses.  Bob Pettit ranked 3rd in scoring and 2nd in rebounding.  In the Western Finals, the Hawks would beat the Detroit Pistons in 5 games.  The Hawks would face the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals.  After Games 1 and 2, the teams headed to St. Louis with the series tied at a game apiece.  The Hawks took Game 3, as the Celtics lost Bill Russell to an ankle injury.  Despite playing without Russell, the Celtics were triumphant in Game 4.  The Hawks pulled out a 2-point victory in the 5th match to take control of the series.  Needing one more win for their first NBA Championship, the Hawks beat the Celtics 110–109.  Bob Pettit scored 50 points playing against an injured Bill Russell as the Hawks and owner Ben Kerner won their first NBA Championship. The 2000–01 NBA season was the Mavericks' 21st season in the National Basketball Association.  During the offseason, the Mavericks acquired Christian Laettner from the Detroit Pistons, and Howard Eisley from the Utah Jazz.  In their final season at the Reunion Arena, the Mavericks played their best basketball in a long time, playing above .500 for the entire season.  At midseason, they traded Laettner along with Hubert Davis to the Washington Wizards for Juwan Howard while signing free agent Vernon Maxwell, who was released by the Philadelphia 76ers.  Michael Finley was selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game, which was his second and final All-Star selection.  The Mavericks finished third in the Midwest Division with a 53–29 record, and made their first playoff appearance since the 1989–90 season, ending a ten-year playoff drought. The 1996–97 NBA season was the ninth season for the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association.  During the offseason, the Heat signed free agents Dan Majerle and P.J. Brown.  The team also signed All-Star forward Juwan Howard to a 7-year $100 million contract, but was voided by the league claiming that Miami exceeded their salary cap.  Howard then quickly re-signed with the Washington Bullets. The 2000–01 NBA season was the Wizards' 40th season in the National Basketball Association.  Washington hosted the 2001 NBA All-Star Game.  Under new head coach Leonard Hamilton, and later on acquiring Tyrone Nesby from the Los Angeles Clippers, the Wizards continued to struggle with a 7–34 start to the season, as people scoffed that their best player Michael Jordan was sitting up in the owner's box.  Juwan Howard, who grew disgruntled with all the team failures was traded at midseason to the Dallas Mavericks for Christian Laettner, Hubert Davis, and rookies Courtney Alexander and Etan Thomas, who was out for the entire season with a toe injury.  In early March, Rod Strickland was released and later on re-signed with the Portland Trail Blazers.
