1/8 Finals Round 6: Portland TB - Dallas M. 96-103

Date: April 28, 2011
Dirk Nowitzki had 33 points and 11 rebounds, and the Dallas Mavericks withstood a furious Portland comeback to beat the Trail Blazers 103-96 Thursday night and take the first-round playoff series in six games. The Mavericks advanced to face the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, who beat New Orleans 98-80 Thursday night to take that first-round series. Jason Terry finished with 22 points as the Mavericks snapped the home-court advantage that each team had held during the playoffs and the regular season. The Blazers led by as many as 12 points early after Gerald Wallace went on a tear with 13 first-quarter points. But Wallace left the game for much of the second quarter with a sore back and Portland surrendered the lead. Wallace would return to finish with 32 points and 12 rebounds. LaMarcus Aldridge added 24 points and 10 rebounds. SURVEY The Portland Trail Blazers ended the series and their season Thursday with a 103-96 loss to the Mavericks. How would you grade the Blazers’ season? A B C D F Results | Disclaimer | E-Mail Wallace's fast-break dunk narrowed it to 86-85 with 5:24 to go, but Jason Kidd answered with a 3-pointer and Terry added a step-back jumper to keep the Mavericks out front 91-85 with 4:04 left. After Wallace made a pair of free throws, Aldridge missed two for Portland and Shawn Marion's hook made it 93-87 for Dallas. Terry added a jumper to put the Mavs ahead 95-89 with 1:42 to go and time ran out on Portland's comeback. The Mavericks, known recently for wilting in the playoffs, had been eliminated in the first round in three of the last four seasons. One of the reasons is that they've had trouble on the road. Since the start of the 2006 NBA finals -- which the Mavs lost in six games to Miami after taking a 2-0 series lead -- Dallas had gone just 2-18 on the road in the postseason. *Courtesy of www.kptv.com
