NBA
Semi-Finals Game 1: Dallas M. - Oklah.City T. 121-112
Date: May 17, 2011
Rust? What rust? Dirk Nowitzki showed no signs of it after a long layoff, making 10 of his first 11 shots and an NBA playoff-record 24 straight free throws on the way to 48 points Tuesday night, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 121-112 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in game one of the Western Conference finals. “I was really looking to shoot early and was able to get my rhythm after the first couple of shots,” Nowitzki said. “I kept attacking and my teammates kept feeding me and feeding me and I was able to take advantage over some smaller players.” Jason Terry scored 24 points and J.J. Barea added 21 as the Mavericks picked up where they left off in a sweep of the Lakers nine days before. They broke open a tight game with a 13-0 run late in the second quarter and never trailed again, stretching their franchise-record postseason winning streak to seven games. Game two is Thursday night in Dallas, where the Mavs are 6-0 this postseason. The Thunder — fresh off a seven-game series against Memphis that included a total of four overtimes — led by nine early in the second quarter, then went 6:28 between baskets. Oklahoma City missed 10 shots during that drought and was down by 11 when it ended. It eventually trailed by 16 before clawing within five points with 3:42 left, and six with 48.5 seconds to play. When things tightened up in the final minutes, Nowitzki helped protect Dallas’ lead with two jumpers over Serge Ibaka, and an assist on a three-pointer by Terry with 28.9 seconds left. “It was closer than we wanted in the fourth quarter, but we came through,” Nowitzki said. Kevin Durant followed his 39 points in game seven of the previous round by scoring 40, one shy of his most ever in a playoff game. Russell Westbrook went from a triple-double in his last game to 20 points, three assists and three rebounds. He missed 12 of his 15 shots, including 10 of his first 11. *Courtesy of www.kansascity.com
