Maverick’s Make it a Series
Just when I was about to think that the Dallas Mavericks were going the way of the Heat via a first round exit, a spark of hope erupted when the Mavs were able to come back up after being down 6 points in the last 2 minutes of the game. The lead even went as high as 21 points in the preceeding quarters.
Dirk Nowitzki was finally able to put up some MVP type performance in the series by sinking a 3 pointer to bring it within 3 then hitting his much needed free throws to seal the game. Of course it helped also that Harris’s drive in the ensuing play became a 3 point play that finally lifted the crowds spirits and led the room a rockin’.
I guess in a way it helped too that Baron Davis fouled out after scoring about 3 points, then Stephen Jackson got Tee’d up and thrown out of the game. But a “W” is a “W” and that win made sure that there is going to be a game 6 in the series.
Go Mavs!
