A humiliating loss was the theme the other night in OKC. What about last night in Dallas? The Mavericks had comeback in mind yet again. The Mavs had a smaller deficit to climb back from in game 5 and took the lead and the game in regulation as a result. Mavericks win, 100-96, and take the series, 4-1. Dirk Nowitzki was a top player again, especially with a clutch 3 near the end, but so too was Shawn Marion with 26 points and 8 rebounds. Once again the Thunder can't hold a lead. Their exit from the playoffs does look bad but they have to remember that they are young and will most likely get another chance.
As for the Mavs, they head back to the Finals for the 1st time since losing to the Heat in 2006. It does look like it will be the same match up as well which means an ultimate chance for redemption for Dirk and the Mavs.
