The
Mavs are through too. After a slow start against the Blazers, Dallas seemed to be in control until Portland came back within one late in the fourth. Jason Terry helped the Mavs with the final push to seal the series 4-2. Nowitzki had a double double of 33 points and 11 rebounds.
Out of the way early are the Magic, beaten in six games by the Hawks, which led all game long before letting Orlando dangerously back in late in the fourth. J.J.Redick missed an open three to send the game to overtime, as Joe Johnson tallied 25 points and Jamal Crawford 19 for Atlanta.
