Another fourth quarter deficit with time ticking away, another comeback win for the resilient Mavs.
Down by 6 with 4 minutes left, the Mavs turned to old reliables Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion, to fuel a 14-4 run and eke out a 110-96 win over the young OKC Thunder.
Nowitzki and Marion both ended up with 26 points. The Thunder were led by Russell Westbrook's 31 and Kevin Durant and James Harden's 23 points.
The Mavs now wait for the winner of the Chicago-Miami series. The Heat lead 3-1.

Mavs Shock Lakers Again!
The Mavs pulled off a shocker by beating the Lakers in Game 1. Could they do it again?
Evidently, they can and did, winning Game 2 93-81.
The Dallas Mavericks scored just 17 points in the third quarter but they also held the Lakers to 13 points to take a 6point lead into the fourth. They then continued to choke the Lakers offense to submission as Kobe Bryant (9-20), Ron Artest (4-10) and Lamar Odom (3-12) had less than stellar shooting games.

Upsets Galore In NBA Playoffs: Mavs Surprise Lakers!
Let me be the first to say it...the NBA Playoffs have been exciting, and unpredictable, as hell!
There's the unexpected beatdown the supposedly soft Hawks gave to the Magic, despite the magnificent series Dwight Howard had.
There's the yawner of a series between the Celtics and the Knicks, which was supposedly a match up made in heaven.
There's the rough-and-tumble series between the Bulls and the feisty Pacers, who made every game a fight to the death.
And there's the Cinderella Grizzlies totally demolishing the top seeded Spurs, dominating basically every game of that series.
And now, in the second round, another set of upsets.
