Game 4: Oklahoma City at Dallas (May 5) Dallas went with a lineup change in starting Jason Terry in placed of Delonte West. It didn't help as Oklahoma City jumped out to a 7-2 lead with 10 minutes left. Serge Ibaka got an offensive rebound and short bucket and Dallas again didn't corral the rebound and Russell Westbrook was fouled and hit 1-2 FT to give Oklahoma City a 12-6 lead with 7 minutes to go. But Dallas finally came alive with a 9-2 run, with the last 7 Dallas points by Jason Kidd, to take their first lead at 15-14 with 5:05 remaining. Kendrick Perkins picked up his 2nd foul with 4 minutes left and subbed out - it turned out he also had an injured right hip and did not return. A tough 3-pointer by James Harden put Oklahoma City up 18-17 with 3:20 left. After a baseliner by Jason Terry, Oklahoma City scored the next 6 points, capped by a 3-pointer by Harden, to take a 24-19 lead with 1:45 to go. The teams traded buckets and then misses and Vince Carter nailed a 3-pointer with a little over a second left. Oklahoma City led 26-24 after 1. Oklahoma City shot 9-16 FG including 3-4 3-pointers and Dallas shot 10-24 FG including 2-4 3-pointers. Oklahoma City shot 5-8 FT and Dallas shot 2-3 FT. Harden had 7 points including 2-2 3-pointers and Kidd had 7 points on 3-4 FG. Harden hit an elbow 3-pointer and Derek Fisher stepped in for the long baseliner to put Oklahoma City up 31-24 with 10:50 left. It wasn't pretty over the next 2 minutes as each team scored just 2 points. A signature shot from Dirk Nowitzki pulled Dallas within 28-33 with 8:35 to go, but Harden found Nazr Mohammed for the easy bucket. The teams again traded 2 points and Oklahoma City led 37-30 with 7:25 left. Dallas then rattled off the next 8 points, capped by a sequence of good defense by Shawn Marion on Westbrook resulting in a steal and Ian Mahinmi getting a layup on the push, to take a 38-37 lead with 4:45 left as the Thunder missed 3 shots and had 2 turnovers. The teams traded leads over the next 2 minutes. Kevin Durant found Ibaka for a dunk, but Nowitzki found Terry for the corner 3 to tie the game at 45-45 with 1:20 to go. Nowitzki hit a fadeaway baseliner and Durant made a star-drive (where most players would have turned the ball over with the way he fumbled the ball and good Dallas D) and got the layup with 39 seconds left. Both teams missed their final shot of the quarter. The game was tied 47-47 at halftime. Dallas had a slight edge in out-scoring Oklahoma City 23-21 in the 2nd quarter - Dallas shot 8-19 FG including 2-5 3-pointers and 5-5 FT and Oklahoma City shot 8-17 FG including 1-5 3-pointers and 4-4 FT. Nowitzki had 10 points in the 2nd quarter. Nowitzki drove for the reverse layup and Terry drove, stopped and nailed the 10-foot floater to give Dallas a 51-47 lead with 10:25 remaining. A 3-pointer by Nowitzki (his first of the series) put Dallas up 56-50 with 9 minutes to go. Coming out of a timeout, Durant hit a 12-footer, but Terry kicked out to Kidd for an elbow 3-pointer to give Dallas a 7-point lead. Marion worked inside for 2 to give Dallas their first double-digit lead of the series at 64-54 with 6:30 left. A putback dunk by Brendan Haywood and 1-2 FT by Terry gave Dallas a 67-56 lead with 5 minutes to go, but Durant drove for a layup and a Dallas turnover resulted in a quick corner 3-pointer by Fisher to pull Oklahoma City within 61-67 with 4:15 left. But Oklahoma City then struggled in missing their next 5 shots and a 3-pointer by Kidd and 3-4 FT by Ian Mahinmi put Dallas up 73-61 with 1:35 remaining. It was an exciting next minute of play as each team scored on their next 3 possessions. After Kidd hit a quick 3-pointer, Westbrook fed Collison for a short bucket, and then Kidd fed West for a corner 3-pointer with 30 seconds to go - and that was the final bucket of the quarter. Dallas led 81-68 after 3. Dallas out-scored Oklahoma City 34-21 in the 3rd quarter as Dallas shot a hot 11-18 FG including 5-6 3-pointers while Oklahoma City shot just 9-22 FG including 2-9 3-pointers. Dallas also had the edge at the line in shooting 7-9 FT in the quarter while the Thunder only went to the line once (a make on a technical on Marion early in the quarter). Nowitzki led the way for Dallas with 12 points in the quarter while Kidd chipped in 9 points including 3-3 3-pointers - and he had 4 assists in the 3rd. It was the James Harden show in the 4th quarter and he opened the 4th with a drive and kick to Daequan Cook for a 3-pointer 20 seconds into the quarter. But a corner 3-pointer by Terry gave Dallas an 86-73 lead with 9:45 to go. Harden drove and was fouled and completed the 3-point play, the teams traded 2 misses, Harden drove for 2 (and got away with a travel), Haywood was called for an illegal screen, Harden drove for 2, Nowitzki missed, and Harden fed Durant for a 3-pointer to pull Oklahoma City within 83-86 with 7:25 remaining. After a Dallas timeout, Nowitzki missed and Harden drove for the 2-hand dunk. After Dallas finally scored (a short baseline drive and dunk by Marion, almost 3 1/2 minutes without Dallas scoring), the Thunder had nice passing of Westbrook to Harden to Durant for a 3-pointer to tie the game at 88-88 with 6 minutes to go. That was 13 straight Oklahoma City points that Harden either scored or assisted on. A 3-point play by Nowitzki put Dallas back on top, but Durant drove baseline for the flying dunk and Westbrook stole the ball and fed Ibaka for the dunk on the break to give Oklahoma City a 91-92 lead with 5:15 left. Dallas again turned the ball over, but Harden missed driving (breaking a string of 7 straight possessions on which Oklahoma City had scored). After Kidd missed a 3-point attempt, Harden fumbled the ball and then kicked out to Fisher, who had a too easy drive to the basket for a layup to give Oklahoma City a 94-91 lead with 4 minutes remaining. Dallas' struggles continued as they missed on their next 2 possessions (but the misses surrounded a missed 3-pointer by Westbrook). Harden was fouled driving and hit both free throws with 3 minutes to go. Ibaka fouled Nowitzki away from the ball, but that put Oklahoma City in the penalty, and Nowitzki hit both free throws to pull Dallas within 93-96 with 2:50 left. But the echo of the quarter continued as Harden drove for 2. Nowitzki was again fouled and hit both free throws, but Collison was fouled hard inside and he hit both free throws to put Oklahoma City up 100-95 with 2 minutes remaining. Nowitzki missed twice inside, but Harden missed a 3-point attempt with 1:30 left. Kidd missed a 3-point attempt. Oklahoma City ran the clock down and Durant missed a 3-point attempt with 49 seconds to go. Nowitzki missed and the ball went out of bounds and there was a replay to determine whose ball it was (and an OKC chant arose with the high number of Thunder fans that attended the game). It was Dallas ball and Nowitzki was fouled and continued to be perfect from the line in the game to pull Dallas within 97-100 with 33 seconds left. Dallas did not intentionally foul and Oklahoma City ran the clock down and [who else] Harden drove for 2 and the nail in the coffin in giving the Thunder a 5-point lead with 10 seconds left. Dallas did call timeout and Terry missed a 3-pointer. 1-2 FT by Durant capped the scoring. Oklahoma City won 103-97 to sweep the series 4-0. It was the first time Dallas was swept in a 7-game series and only the 2nd time that they had ever been swept (0-3 vs Portland in 1990). Oklahoma City advances to the 2nd round where they will face the winner of the LA Lakers-Denver series. So the answer is that the Mavs playoff run would reflect the regular season and they did not elevate their game to a higher level in the playoffs compared to their struggles in the regular season. Of course, it didn't help that they were facing one of the 3 best teams in the playoffs (and I could definitely see the Thunder going all the way to the Finals, and maybe even winning it all (if they keep their youthful mistakes down)). It was a great James Harden performance in the 4th quarter and a terrible Dallas performance in the 4th in failing to do something with Harden as he consistently drove to the basket - Harden had 15 points and 3 assists in the 4th. Add to that Dallas' pathetic 4th quarter offense (just 4-18 FG), and it's no surprise that Oklahoma City out-scored Dallas 35-16 in the 4th quarter. Dallas went the last 5 1/2 minutes of the game without a field goal (though they did connect on 6 free throws in that span). For the game, Oklahoma City shot 52% (39-75) FG including 9-24 FT and Dallas shot 41.8% (33-79) FG including 10-19 3-pointers. Oklahoma City shot 16-20 FT and Dallas shot 21-24 FT. The rebounds were even at 39 each, but Dallas held an 11-6 offensive edge. Oklahoma City had 22 assists and Dallas had 19 assists. Both teams had 13 turnovers, but Oklahoma City took better (but not great) advantage of Dallas' mistakes as Oklahoma City had 16 points off of turnovers while Dallas had just 8 points off of turnovers. The Thunder ruled the paint with a 52-28 advantage, including 20-4 in the 4th quarter. The hero of the game was easily James Harden. As mentioned above, Harden was the man in the 4th. He finished with 29 points including 11-16 FG and 3-4 3-pointers, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. Kevin Durant had a double-double with 24 points and 11 rebounds, but he also had 5 turnovers. He did score 9 points and had 6 rebounds in the 4th quarter. Unlike the first 3 games, Russell Westbrook struggled with just 12 points on 3-12 FG, 0-4 3-pointers, and 6-8 FG. He also had 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals. Serge Ibaka kicked in 10 points and 6 rebounds before fouling out with 2 minutes left in the game. Derek Fisher had 12 point on 5-6 FG and 2-2 3-pointers, 3 rebounds, and an assist in 30 minutes. Kendrick Perkins did not score before leaving the game 8 minutes in with a hip injury. Nazr Mohammed and Nick Collison saw more minutes than usual with Perkins out. Collison had 4 points, a rebound, 3 assists, and 5 fouls in 20 minutes. Mohammed had 4 points, 2 rebounds, and 4 fouls in 11 minutes. Thabo Sefolosha continued his struggles in the series with just 5 points and 2 rebounds in 17 minutes. Daequan Cook attempted 4 3-pointers for his only attempts and only made one (at the start of the 4th quarter). Dirk Nowitzki led the way for Dallas with 34 points on 10-25 FG and 13-13 FT. He also had 5 rebounds and 4 assists in 40 minutes. He scored 9 of Dallas' 16 4th quarter points. Starting did not help the struggling Jason Terry. He had just 11 points including 4-12 FG to go with 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 43 minutes. Jason Kidd had an all-around game with 16 points including 4-8 3-pointers, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists. Shawn Marion was focused on chasing Durant and had 9 points and 6 rebounds in 35 minutes. Vince Carter had 8 points on 3-10 FG and 8 rebounds in 20 minutes. And Delonte West had 3 points on 1-4 FG (making his only 3-point attempt) and 3 assists in 18 minutes. The 3 centers were the only other Mavs to play. Starter Brendan Haywood played a series high 25 minutes, but had just 4 points and 4 rebounds. Ian Mahinmi played 14 minutes and had 10 points on 3-4 FG and 4-5 FT and 5 rebounds, but also had 5 fouls - his tendency to have foul trouble is the reason Rick Carlisle gave for not starting him. Brandan Wright's nice regular season performances did not carry over into the playoffs and he had 2 points (in making his only attempt) and no rebounds in just 6 minutes. So the off-season is here for the Mavs and it will be very interesting to see what Dallas does in the off-season. They do have their own 1st round draft pick this year (#17 - doesn't go to the Lakers as the 1st round pick that goes to the Lakers as part of the Odom trade was top 20 protected for 2012). And they should have money available to go after a big name free agent - unfortunately there is only 1 big name left, Deron Williams, but he is a local product which does give Dallas an advantage and he would love Rick Carlisle's free-flow offesne, but if the Mavs don't get him you will really hear the 'Tyson Chandler should have been re-signed' fans complain (even more than with the sweep). And the Mavs have a ton of free agents. I do hope that the Mavs retain Jason Terry, but I'm loyal and it would hurt to see him in another uniform (one of my favorite video clips of the playoffs is when he and Dirk hugged). Quotes Scott Brooks: "This goes without saying, I'm excited that we won the series. Going into it you knew that it was going to be very competitive, very tough. I'd just like to just acknowledge Dallas. They do things very classy. Coach Carlisle has done a great job. He has his team prepared every night. And Dirk, just being fortunate to spend 2 or 3 days at the All-Star game with him, you guys are obviously very lucky. What an incredible human being and an amazing player, one of the best that has ever played the game. Knowing Jason Kidd, unfortunately he knocked us out last year, but for him to get a championship - I was his back up 30 years ago, not a very good one, but I still, mentored him. Probably he owes me more than he gives me credit for. Jason is the best. Our guys played well. Our guys played well every game. We knew it was going to be a tough game. Games 1, 2, and 4 really could have gone either way. I'd just like to acknowledge Russell Westbrook. He didn't have a good shooting night, but he really did a great job, and it's not easy to guard Jason Terry, but what he did tonight and in this series is pretty special. We know it as an organization, I know it as his coach, that he's about doing the right things. But the way he defended, really made a difference in this series because we all know what Jason does. Terry, he's a big time player. He's a shot-maker and a huge 4th quarter game-changer, and we did a good job of keeping him out of the series." Brooks on the 4th quarter: "We were down. You know, that 3rd quarter, I didn't like that the fact that they came out and they really got into us. They really dictated the game. We were on our heels and trying to run our offense from spots that we don't need to be or run our offense through. We were down 13 and a lot of things did not go our way because of us and because they were making big plays. But we kind of changed that around by really getting into the basketball, getting through the screens, not letting a screen I mean, every time you have a screen you have a choice, you either go through it or get screened and we chose not to in that 4th quarter and made them miss a lot of shots. And we took care of the basketball. We had 9 turnovers in the 1st half, I think we only had 4 in the 2nd half. We needed every possession. Then James had an incredible game. We ran pick-and-rolls at the angle and he was making plays. He was making plays for himself or to our shooters. Then Derek made big shots. He had a great series, Fisher." Brooks on Harden: "It's like all of our guys, we work them every day in practice to get better and improve. And like all of our guys, three years ago it didn't look pretty. James' pick-and-roll game was suspect at times. But we challenge him, every day in practice our guys challenge him guarding him in practice and he's improved. But that's how we've gotten better as a team, on the practice floor we continue to work. But James, he's a play-maker. He can score the basketball, he can shoot make 3s, he can get to his mid-range game, and he's a layup-maker and he's also a player that makes plays for easy shots. I thought he was finding the corner, he was finding what we call the slot, and he was finding our guys rolling to the basket. And another thing, Nick [Collison] hit those 2 big free throws. We were fouling them, putting Dirk on the line, and we had to get a bucket every time - James either had a bucket or Nick hit those 2 free throws, I thought was huge. And we don't even talk about Kevin. Kevin's, you know, he's Kevin. He made 2 big 3s when he didn't have a 3-point game going." [Durant and Westbrook do their press interview together and both took the microphone off the stand and then leaned back in the chairs with little smirks - might have been tribute to Nowitzki as that is how he does his interviews (and they hadn't done so in the previous 3 interviews).] Kevin Durant: "Like Russell said, we just took it a possession at a time. The Mavericks went on a nice little run in that 3rd quarter. And we didn't crumble. I think that's part of our team. We're growing in that area and we never gave up and we kept fighting. Russell was phenomenal for us. People probably won't talk about his defense was disruptive in the 4th, and he - and James Harden's offensive input - and Russ' defense is the reason we got that lead and kept the lead. Everybody helped out, rebounding, helping off on Dirk and helping Serge as well. Everybody's effort was perfect in the 4th." Durant on Harden: "He was phenomenal in that 4th. His pick-and-roll game is just unreal. It's fun to watch, fun to be a part of. The best part about our team is that we have a lot of guys who can play off each other and we compliment each other well. Russ did a great job of spacing the floor for us and they wasn't leaving him and it freed up some shots for me, Serge, and Nick as well. We just kept fighting. And James did a great job of getting to the rim and making the right decision every time down. So this was a great win for us." Russell Westbrook on the comeback: "Defense, man. I think it's just our team defense and toughness. Everybody did their job, we took one play at a time and one possession at a time, and the next thing you know the lead was closing and the advantage was on our hand. It was a good win for us." Westbrook on defending Terry: "Just tried to deny him the ball. Jason is a great player in this league, and when you have an opportunity to roll around and do what he wants to do, he can cause problems for a defense. My job was to just slow him down and keep a body on him, and try to slow him down from getting the crowd involved." [Light moment during the press when someone asked if Harden was a "max" player and to rank him in the shooting guards in the league and Westbrook gave a generic answer followed by, "No more questions from you, bro." [laughter from the media] followed by a mumbled "trouble".] James Harden on the comeback: "We wanted to give ourselves a chance. Being down 13 points to start the 4th quarter, it was going take some toughness, some effort from all of us. Guys did a great job. Not just me, but Russell defensively on Jason Terry, our bigs on Dirk. Just fighting them all quarter long. I think those 5 guys on the court did a great job of competing those 12 minutes." Harden on his game: "Being in attack mode. Scotty [Brooks] put the ball in my hands in the 4th quarter and he told me to make plays. So, I was just trying to make plays. And, Russell did a great job on the defensive end with a couple of steals in a row, and chasing Jason Terry. It was just tremendous." Harden on if he felt the momentum swing in the 4th: "Yeah, definitely. We were small, all we had to do was rebound. And once we got the rebound, we've got so many playmakers on the floor, and some good shooters and once we get out in transition it's much easier. So, it was great effort by all of our guys in that 4th quarter." Harden: "Well, we had a bad 3rd quarter - going down 13 - especially late in that 3rd quarter. And usually we crumble, but we didn't crumble at all. In the 4th quarter we picked it up and just everybody made plays." Harden on ending the series: "Oh, it was very important. They're winners over there. You can't keep giving them opportunities to win games. So, we had to close it out. Now guys get to rest. Hopefully Perk gets back in time. But we get to rest and just recover and just take care of our bodies." Harden: "I got into attack mode. I was determined to make plays." Rick Carlisle: "I just want to congratulate Oklahoma City on an extremely well played series and, I guess, publicly thank our guys for the effort they gave this year. We have a group of special people in our lockerroom, starting with Dirk and JKidd and Terry, and Marion. These guys have represented really the best of what the league has been about for so long and will continue to do so - these guys have all got a lot left in the tank. But these guys are proud warriors. As difficult and disappointing as this is, I can't express enough of my gratitude, and I know the fans here feel the same way. They're just special people, everybody in the lockerroom. Oklahoma City was great - congratulations to them. Sam Presti, done a phenomenal job there. Scott Brooks, one of the best coaches in the game. I hope Sam's got enough money to sign him [Brooks] because he's going to be in high demand if they dont get that done. They're a great young team and the thing that impressed me the most about them is that they have a certain look in their eye right now, you know. Not just that they belong, but that this could be their time. And I'm sure that the addition of Fisher has helped cultivate that a little bit in their locker room. I tell you what, they came at us like a buzz saw in the 4th quarter. They made plays and we couldn't stop them, and they were able to stop us enough. So we walk away from this very disappointed, but knowing that the better team won. Our guys wanted nothing more than to get back on the plane tomorrow and go up there. It's a great place to play and we really felt we could hang in this series, but it just wasn't to be." Carlisle: "We competed at a very high level and just got beaten by a better team." Carlisle on Harden in the 4th: "He beat us on individual drives, he beat us when they were in pick-and-rolls, beat us on double-teams. You know, he got up a head of steam and he was just great. We tried everything. We probably had 5 or 6 different coverages going. We had different guys guarding different guys. We had a guard guarding their big man so we could try to switch it. There was a lot of things going on. We needed to be better, but it was more about how good he was. And, again, you get up 13 heading into the 4th, you feel like you've got a pretty good shot. But again, they just stayed with it. In many ways, this was a mirror image of last year's series with the only difference being that we weren't able to get a game. I mean, all 5 of those games last year could have gone either way. And 3 of these 4 could have gone either way. And they were the ones that got it done. You've got to tip your hat and give them credit and they're going to be tough to beat." Carlisle on Terry: "He's going to get a lot of attention. The reason we started him, I really felt like we needed a little extra jolt to start the game. I thought it would help us at all positions. I thought at this point we needed to have our best players on the court as much as possible." Dirk Nowitzki: "We need some guys that can make plays for themselves, I think that's pretty obvious. You know, if you look at all the top teams now, they have at least 2 or 3 guys they can just throw the ball to and they can do their thing. If you look at OKC who we just lost to, it was either Westbrook in Game 1 and Game 2 and it was Durant last game. Today they just throw it to Harden and he goes off. So, if you want to be an elite team in this league right now, you have to 2 or 3 guys that can just go off at anytime. And I just thought that they had more weapons than us, that was pretty clear." Nowitzki on Harden in the 4th: "If you look at it, they had the small lineup out there that's been kind of bothering us in all 4 games. And all they were really doing was spreading the floor with shooter in the corner, shooter in the other corner, shooter on the wing, Harden got the ball and the 5-man was running up and setting the screen-and-roll and he was creating out of that. And if we sucked in too much, Durant hit 2 3s right there on the right wing. And if we stayed home, he got to the basket. So, got to give them credit, they really spread the floor and he did his thing. I think we tried to mix up our coverages and we went zone twice and we tried to force them down twice and we tried to blitz them down the middle twice and whatever we did, he made us pay. So he had a great game and you've got to give them credit. Whatever we threw at him, he attacked accordingly." Nowitzki: "It was an up and down year. We weren't consistent enough throughout to be an elite team." Jason Terry: "Not our year. Take your hat off to them. They're a good young team. The balls were definitely bouncing their way. You have to give them credit. It just wasn't our time." Delonte West: "They just out-played us tonight. Game 1 and Game 2, we had them beat both games there and losing those games really took the momentum out of us. I'm proud of the way this team fought tonight and, like I said, they got 3 really good players in Durant, Westbrook, and Harden. They attacked us tremendously and that was our downfall this series." West on Harden: "He's a good player. He sees something that he can use to his advantage and he exploits it. You have to give him credit for the way he played tonight and the whole series. We'll be right back in this next year. I'm proud for the city, I'm proud for this team, and I hope to be apart of this next year." West on his status with Dallas: "That's out of my control. I just deal with playing basketball and let the guys in the suits deal with it. It was a pleasure to play for this city and this championship team. I'm grateful for this opportunity and hopefully I can come back for many years to come. I want to contribute more and get back into championship form." 2012 NBA Playoffs - First Round Game 4: Oklahoma City Thunder 103, Dallas Mavericks 97 at Dallas (May 5) 1st 2nd 3rd 4th - Final 2FG 3FG FG% FT% Oklahoma City 26 21 21 35 - 103 .588 .375 .520 .800 Dallas 24 23 34 16 - 97 .383 .526 .418 .875 Halftime: 47-47 3rd Q: Dallas 81-68 Technicals: Shawn Marion 10:03 3rd, Oklahoma City defensive 3 seconds 6:53 3rd Refs: Bill Spooner, Scott Foster, Sean Wright Attendance: 20,533 (sellout) IL: Oklahoma City - Reggie Jackson, Eric Maynor Dallas - Dominique Jones, Lamar Odom Oklahoma City Thunder REB Player MIN FGM-FGA 3PM-3PA FTM-FTA PTS O-T AST TO PF STL BLK Kevin Durant 40 9-18 2-8 4-5 24 1-11 4 5 1 0 2 Serge Ibaka 31 5-9 0-0 0-0 10 2-6 0 1 6 0 3 Kendrick Perkins 8 0-1 0-0 0-0 0 0-2 2 1 2 0 0 Thabo Sefolosha 17 2-4 1-2 0-0 5 0-2 0 0 1 0 0 Russell Westbrook 37 3-12 0-4 6-8 12 2-5 6 0 2 3 0 James Harden 34 11-16 3-4 4-5 29 0-5 5 2 3 3 1 Nick Collison 20 1-2 0-0 2-2 4 0-1 3 1 5 0 1 Daequan Cook 13 1-4 1-4 0-0 3 0-2 1 0 2 1 0 Derek Fisher 30 5-6 2-2 0-0 12 0-3 1 1 1 0 1 Nazr Mohammed 11 2-3 0-0 0-0 4 1-2 0 2 4 0 0 Totals 48 39-75 9-24 16-20 103 6-39 22 13 27 7 8 Dallas Mavericks REB Player MIN FGM-FGA 3PM-3PA FTM-FTA PTS O-T AST TO PF STL BLK Shawn Marion 35 4-9 0-2 1-2 9 1-6 1 4 3 0 2 Dirk Nowitzki 40 10-25 1-1 13-13 34 1-5 4 1 2 1 0 Brendan Haywood 25 1-3 0-0 2-2 4 1-4 0 1 3 1 0 Jason Terry 43 4-12 2-4 1-2 11 1-4 3 1 2 0 0 Jason Kidd 38 6-11 4-8 0-0 16 1-7 8 4 2 1 1 Vince Carter 20 3-10 2-3 0-0 8 3-8 0 0 1 2 0 Ian Mahinmi 14 3-4 0-0 4-5 10 3-5 0 1 5 1 1 Brandan Wright 6 1-1 0-0 0-0 2 0-0 0 1 2 0 0 Delonte West 18 1-4 1-1 0-0 3 0-0 3 0 1 0 0 Totals 48 33-79 10-19 21-24 97 11-39 19 13 21 6 4 patricia ---- Patricia Bender pbender@eskimo.com For Trianglons puzzles: http://www.trianglons.com For NBA stuff: http://www.eskimo.com/~pbender/index.html For Mavs stuff: http://www.eskimo.com/~pbender/mavs.html
