Mavericks vs Thunder 5/17/11 Game 1 ADS

It was a clash of the titans as the Mavericks took game one of the Western Conference Finals. Nowitzki had his best playoff game of his career, not highest scoring but when you look at his efficiency he was nearly flawless. In Dirk's shadow stood Durant who had a pretty good game for himself but it fell on blind eyes and Westbrook struggled to hold his own. 20 points is a good game for anyone else, but when Westbrook is a "star" of your team you need him to play better than just 3-15 from the field. I wouldn't bet on him having another game like last night; unless Dirk goes off like he did this would have been a much closer game in the end.
