Dirk's big night propels Dallas to Round 2
Dirk Nowitzki - F - Dallas Mavericks
April 29, 2011 - 1:30 AM ET
Dirk Nowitzki had 33 points and 11 rebounds as the Mavericks beat the Blazers in Portland to advance to a Round 2 meeting with the Lakers.
Dirk hit 11-of-17 shots and 11-of-11 free throws, helping hold off a furious Blazers comeback late in the game. Jason Terry added 22 points, two threes and eight dimes off the bench, while Shawn Marion came through with 16 points and six boards in the win. The Mavs and Lakers series should be highly entertaining as they fight to get to the Western Conference Finals.
