Quarter-Finals Round 4: Denver N. - Dallas M. 117-119
Date: May 11, 2009
So much for the idea that the Dallas Mavericks would be devastated by the way Game 3 ended. Dirk Nowitzki wasn't about to let them get swept. Nowitzki scored 19 of his 44 points in the fourth quarter, including a high-arching shot with 1:05 left that put the Mavericks ahead for good on their way to a 119-117 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night, extending this second-round series and providing it with a lot more excitement. 'We're not done yet,' Nowitzki said. 'We played for one more chance.' Carmelo Anthony scored a career playoff-best 41 points and hit a three-pointer with 3.1 seconds left from nearly the exact spot as his winning basket in the previous game, only this time it left Denver a point shy of a tie. Dallas' Jason Terry made a free throw with 1.1 seconds left, then missed another -- perhaps intentionally -- because Anthony got the rebound but didn't have a timeout left to call or enough time to get off a 90-foot heave. The buzzer sounded and confetti fell as the teams left the court, knowing they will meet again Wednesday night in Denver.
