| The Series between the Dallas Mavericks and the LA Lakers is getting ugly |
In the last game, Dirk Nowitzki had another stellar game, scoring 24 points, and J.J. Barea led another solid bench effort with 12 as Dallas completed a two-game sweep in Los Angeles to open up the Western Conference semis. The Mavs led after the first, second and third quarters, proving they were in command throughout what many considered a must-win for the two-time champs. Kobe Bryant was held to 23 points, and none of his Lakers teammates stepped up. The Mavericks' run to the 2006 NBA Finals was spurred by defeating a defending champion in the Western Conference semifinals. The upset over San Antonio then, when the Spurs had the home-court advantage, is considered Dallas' ultimate playoff triumph. That could be on the verge to moving down to No. 2 on the list if the Mavericks can finish off the Los Angeles Lakers. Dallas is halfway there, taking a 2-0 series lead by winning the first two at Staples Center. As ridiculous as it must sound to some, the Mavs return to Dallas in position to sweep by holding court. The third and fourth games of the series are Friday and Sunday at American Airlines Center. The Lakers are 2-16 all-time in playoff series after losing the first two games. Only three teams in league history have come back to win after dropping the first two at home. Dallas, coincidentally, is one of those teams, doing it in 2005 against Houston. The Mavs know it can be done, so they're quick to point out the series is far from over. The Lakers are up against the wall and will respond with a big road win at Dallas.
