LOS ANGELES – Who'd have ever thought this would be the Dallas Mavericks'
new home away from home?
A torturous haunted house to them for so long, Staples Center was the perfect
venue to get their season jump-started as the Mavericks completed a
franchise-first LA sweep by outlasting the Clippers, 93-84, Saturday night.
It was Halloween, so naturally the finish got scary.
The Mavericks led by nine going into the fourth quarter, but the Clippers
roared back to make it 82-82 with under six minutes to go. Jason Terry
uncorked a 3-pointer and a layup to put the Mavericks up 87-84 with under
three minutes showing.
After two Clipper misses, Erick Dampier got loose for a dunk and the
Mavericks forced a shot-clock violation. They then got two offensive rebounds
and the Clippers could do nothing to make a comeback.
Even before the game started, the Mavericks knew getting the sweep would not
be easy. It was just last year that the Mavericks played the 0-6 Clippers and
became their first victim of the season.
"This is a tough place to play," coach Rick Carlisle said. "If you look at
our record here the last few years, it's been tough."
And anytime the Mavericks have played two in a row at LA, the results have
been mostly pathetic. This was their ninth trip to LA during which they
played the Lakers and Clippers back to back. They had been swept five times
and split three trips. They had never swept LA until now.
Both teams were stuck on 55 through two quarters, and it was appropriate
given the way they finished the first half.
Let's just say they matched each other meltdown for meltdown.
The Mavericks had two turnovers in the final 15 seconds of the half leading
to a Baron Davis layup and a Chris Kaman 3-point play.
Then Clippers guard Sebastian Telfair fouled Jason Terry while he was
shooting a 3-pointer. Telfair griped too much about the call and picked up a
technical.
The four free throws with 0.9 on the clock allowed the Mavericks to tie the
score.
That allowed them to take a bit of momentum into the second half, and it
wasn't long before the Mavericks charged ahead 74-62.
Gooden sits: Because of a muscle strain near his right rib cage, Drew Gooden
sat out Saturday's game.
He said he's planning on getting an MRI when the team gets back to Dallas
today.
Gooden got hurt in the fourth quarter Friday when the Lakers' Josh Powell and
he were battling for position.
School of hard knocks: Backup center-forward Kris Humphries doesn't like to
lose any more than anyone else.
But he said the lessons of the 102-91 loss to Washington in the opener, while
painful, may have a long-term medicinal value for the Mavericks.
"For us, we had a disappointing loss at home and this (the Lakers) is a
really good team, defending champs," Humphries said. "It says something about
us. A lot of teams get disappointed at home and then, well, it's LA, it's OK
if we lose. Just play hard. But no, we were trying to come in and win.
"You never want to say that it's good to get a loss. But sometimes a loss can
open your eyes."
小牛過去連對快艇湖人
下場通常很慘
這次打敗了這魔咒
Gooden目前考慮去照MRI
他表示肌肉還在酸
Humphries表示他不喜歡輸球
不過季初第一場輸巫師
對長期來說
可能可以激力球隊
