This game was an great battle from Kevin Durant vs. Dirk Nowitzki. The Dallas Maverick beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 121 to 112. Dirk scored 48 points which is 16th most all-time in the playoffs since 1985-86 season, Dirk shot 12 for 15 for the field. The last play to score 48 points in a playoff game was LeBron James in Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals. His 48 points was 2 short from the 50 he had in Game 5 of the 2006 Western Conference Finals. Dirk was 24 for 24 on free throw attempts which is the most in make without a miss in a playoff in NBA Playoffs history. Kevin Durant also had a great game scoring 40 points, he shot 10 for 18. Durant also had a great game from the free throw line shooting 18 for 19. With the win the Mavericks take a 1-0 lead in the series. Dirk Nowitzki is looking to get back to the NBA Finals and Durant and Westbrook look to be one of the youngest team ever to make a NBA Final. Durant is 2-0, when the Thunder have home-court and 0-1 when they don't. That is why saying Dallas win in 6 or 7 games.
