Mavericks vs Trail Blazers 4/25/11 Game 5 ADS

As convincing as the Mavs made that win, I was on the edge of my seat till the end. After game four I don't think we can rest with any lead. None the less Mavs are on top the series 3-2 is going back to Portland. Dallas looked like a completely new team last night posting lower ADS in three quarters than Portland. I want to talk about how the Mavs have yet to have a lower ADS in the 3rd all season long, but I feel like that would just be nitpicky after they finally had control of the paint. Adam points out that Dirk and Tyson were making it a point to get to the rim and the results were 23 FT-A's compared to Camby and Aldridge's 0 FT-A.
