NBA Playoffs 2011: Dallas Mavericks End LA Lakers' Title Bid


The Dallas Mavericks have stopped the LA Lakers' dynasty, 122-86, with a stunning sweep of their Western Conference Semi-Finals series.

The Mavericks staged one of the most spectacular long-range shooting exhibitions in NBA playoff history, making 20 of 31 attempts from 3-point range.

Jason Terry led the barrage of playoff-record-breaking 3's during a 32-point performance.

Meantime, Kobe Bryant, who paced the Lakers to their most recent league titles, scored 17 points in his final game of the season.

His teammates, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum were ejected for flagrant fouls in the fourth quarter.

With the win, Dallas set up a meeting for the Western Conference title against either Memphis Grizzlies or Oklahoma Thunder.
