Dirk Nowitzki’s Career Night Leads Dallas Over Oklahoma City in Game 1
There is having the hot hand, and then there is what Dirk Nowitzki had on Tuesday night. Dirk scored 48 points to lead the Mavericks to a 121-112 victory over the Thunder in game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. What made Dirk’s 48 points so amazing, was that he did it on only 15 shots [...]
2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap, Day 13: Eliminations
Three teams were eliminated last night, but there are still more questions then there are answers. Is Atlanta a fluke? Can Dirk out-shoot the Lakers? How’s Kobe’s ankle?

2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap, Day 12: Breakfast, Backcourt & Zombies

Oklahoma City Outlasts Denver To Take 3-0 Series Lead
Foul or no foul? You make the call. It took a career high in points (22) and rebounds (16) from Serge Ibaka and a late defensive stand, but the Oklahoma City Thunder are one game away from advancing to the 2nd round for the first time since they were in Seattle after a 97-94 game [...]

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook scored a combined 44 points, 28 fewer than in game 1, but it was James Harden’s 18, Serge Ibaka’s 12 and Nick Collison’s 10, and improved defense across [...]
Brandon Roy Disappointed in Self, Playing Time
The Portland Trail Blazers are now down 2-0 in their first round playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks, mostly in part due to Jason Kidd’s youthful play, the Blazer’s difficulty shooting and a lack of production from their bench. One of the most important pieces for the Blazers coming off the bench is three-time all-star [...]
