Blazers overcome
Van Exel, Dallas
to force Game Six
John Miller
Knight Ridder Newspapers (KRT)
DALLAS — If they gave a Sixth
Man of the Playoffs award, Maver
icks guard Nick Van Exel would
have put himself among the fron
trunners with his performance
against Portland, if not for the
fourth quarter.
Van Exel, who averaged 13 points
and six assists in the first four
games of the series, had his best
game Wednesday with 25 points
and five assists but struggled from
the field in the final quarter, hitting
only one of six shots in the 103-99
Mavericks loss.
“(The first three quarters) didn’t
really matter,” Van Exel said. “The
bottom line, I didn’t shoot well in
the fourth quarter. We didn’t get the
plays we needed in the fourth quar
ter, and they got a big win.”
Van Exel hit his only basket of
the fourth quarter with 7:23 left,
giving the Mavericks a 90-81 lead,
the biggest lead for Dallas in the sec
ond half.
But the rest of the quarter did not
go well for Van Exel, who finished
fourth in the Sixth Man of the Year
voting. With the Mavericks still
leading by nine, Van Exel took three
of the next four Dallas shots and
missed them all, as the Dallas lead
was whittled to three points.
With Dallas leading 98-96 with
1:33 left, Van Exel missed again,
this time on an eight-foot hook shot.
The Trail Blazers took the lead on
the ensuing possession with
Rasheed Wallace hitting a 3-pointer.
And in the final seconds, with
Portland up by four, Van Exel kept
the dribble and passed to Steve
Nash instead of putting up a quick
3-pointer.
The Mavericks needed Van
Exel’s offense in the first three
quarters, especially with the strug
gles of Nash, who was held to five
points in the first three quarters
on l-of-9 shooting in 20 minutes.
Van Exel played 21 minutes in the
first three quarters and hit 8-of-13
shots for 22 points.
The Mavericks held a 50-43
halftime lead in large part thanks
to Van Exel, who scored 14 points
in the half including 12 in the sec
ond quarter.
The Trail Blazers went on a 6-0
run late in the half to cut the Maver
icks’ lead to 45-41. But with 1:02
left in the half, Van Exel hit his first
3-pointer to extend the lead to sev
en. Portland cut the deficit to five
and had a chance to pull even closer
late in the half, but Van Exel came
up with a steal, led the break the
other way and fed Dirk Nowitzki for
an alley-oop dunk to give Dallas the
7-point halftime lead.
