Mavs survive in the 4th quarter and celebtrate victory at the
overtime. It was
15 points deficit at the 3th quarter by the Mavericks, but they quickly had 8 points and closed the game. Who cares? The quarter finished with the advantage of Grizlies by 13 points and good performance by
Stoudamire, he had
18 points tonight. It was the catching at the 4th quarter, and Grizzlies didn't resist by Mavs and especially by
Devin Harris. He had oustanding performance with
26 points and
5 assists, also cold-bloodedness from him. The real time finiched
95-95 with the free throws by the Armstrong.
So teams were contrained to play
overtime, and then the real game started. I can't remember more than
2 points advantage untill the last minute of the overtime. The score was changing quickly and frequently. But at the time of 40 seconds left Mavs increased their lead to 4 points. And at the last seconds
Dirk Nowitzki made some free throws and didn't relinquish the victory. He had 31 points tonight, the same number of points as in the first game. From the Grizzlies Pau Gasol was the main man, he had
20 points,
16 rebounds,
2 blocks,
3 steals. It was good matchup between two amazing European players:
Nowitzki and
Gasol.
The score
119 : 113 for the Mavs means that Mavs are going to the 2 playoff round, while the season for the Grizzlies is over.
Mavs will play against
Spurs, who win their serie against Rockets
2-0. It will be very hard games, because Spurs are previous years Champions and will try to defend the title.
