Mavs Kings The first half made me want to jump out of a ten story building. But, in the third quarter, Peja started doing what he does best and scored 12 points. Then, at the end, the great defensive stop, again, by Peja. The season is over for the Mavs. I can't wait for game 5. Bring out the cowbells.
Great win for the Kings. They all but wrapped up a first round victory by winning tonight. It was almost do or die tonight for the Mavs and they couldn't get the job done. The Kings played an absolute herendous first half yet they continued to hit the offensive glass to keep themselves in the game. In the third quarter Peja started clicking and he brought his teamates along. In the first half he was forcing too many shots off the dribble and was throwing up some bricks. Once he got that open look, he gained confidence and that was a bad sign for the Mavs. Now the Mavs will have to find a way to win at Arco in game 5, it will be their toughest task yet.
The Kings have an MVP of their own in Doug Christie. When the game was getting ugly and slipping away from them, he came to their rescue with his aggressive dunk in the lane. He brought the energy and attitude that helped them when things were looking bleak. I believe if he hadn't showed up, this series is tied 2 all.
If Christie hadn't showed up in this series, I'm confident the Mavs would be up 3-1. Christie has been the team's MVP down the stretch of the seaosn and into the playoffs, no doubt about that.
This is probaly the series,but without Christie the Kings would not be leading 3-1 in this series I mean this guy is not a very big scorer but when he is on the floor he will give 100% all the time, and you can tell that he wants it the most.
