San Antonio was a two man show, as Tony Parker scored 43 while Tim Duncan had 25. The star of the game for the Mavericks was Josh Howard who fin...
Mavericks turned in a good third quarter, outscoring the Spurs 29-to-16 to take an 80-to-71 lead after three quarters. Tony Parker had only 4-points in the quarter, but still has 35-points. By the way, his 31-point first half tied a Spurs playoff record with George Gervin. Gervin also had 31 in a half against the Washington Bullets on April 8, 1978. Mavericks started the second half with a 15-to-5 run to take a 6 point lead. Th...
The Spurs came out with the intensity you knew they would - they're a prideful bunch. They made their first 5 shots and opened a 9 point lead. The Mavs had a counter punch, though, and this could prove to be the most important part of the game - near the end of the first quarter the Mavs go on a 14-1 punctuated by the 2 Jasons, Terry then Kidd with 3 pointers and the Mavs ended the first half with a lead. And now this game h...
Game four between the Spurs and Mavericks is once again turning into the Tony Parker show. He had 18-points for the Spurs in the second quarter. Add that to his 13 from the first, and he's got 31 at the half. San Antonio outscored Dallas 19-to-4 to close out the half. That's why the Spurs lead 55-to-51. The Spurs are shooting 55.9% percent in the first half, a big difference considering the Mavericks are hitting a mere 38.5 per...
The Mavericks got off a so so start in the first period, but a fierce rally gave them the lead after the first quarter. Dallas shot 50 percent from the field while San Antonio shot 55 percent. Tony Parker had 13 points after the first quarter of play. Dallas lead 32-to-29 after the first quarter despite a 10-0 run by San Antonio that had the Spurs up by 9. The Mavericks put together two mini runs together, a 6-0 run and then a...
American Airlines Center is rocking this afternoon for game four between the Mavs and Spurs. No one seems to know what kind of game to expect. I asked ten different people and got ten different predictions. A rare start for Bruce Bowen in place of Roger Mason for the Spurs. He hadn't started a game since November 28. We'll see how well rested the Spurs are since they had all that time off in game three. Jason Terry was given hi...
