Dirk Nowitzki scored 40 points, Jason Kidd hit the go-ahead three-pointer with 40 seconds left in overtime and the visiting Dallas Mavericks overcame a 15-point deficit in the final 5 minutes of regulation to stun the Oklahoma City Thunder, 112-105, last night and take a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals.

It just never came to pass, kind of like the Rapture. We can all reconvene on Monday night at the Oklahoma City Arena and start fresh. The OKC Thunder would no doubt agree to that proposition, after an awful shooting performance Saturday night doomed them to a 93-87 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs obviously were satisfied with the result, which gave them a 2-1 series lead, but even they couldn't have been thrilled with another wobbly fourth quarter in which what had been a 23-point lead was whittled to four. That had to have brought back nightmarish memories of the 18-point lead they blew in a first-round playoff loss to Portland. Shawn Marion and Dirk Nowitzki each scored 18 points and the Dallas Mavericks avoided surrendering a 22-point lead to hang on for a 93-87 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Saturday's Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.

Dallas Mavericks vs OKC Thunder [...] OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Antonio Cooper Sr. walked across a field of empty chairs that represent the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing, occasionally stopping to read names inscribed in glass panes as he searched for the one dedicated to his 6-month-old son, Antonio Cooper Jr.... Memphis put vanquishing the Spurs in the past and took over the paint against OKC in Game 1. Royce Young says not only did the Grizzlies choke off any Kevin Durant-led comeback, they sent a message -- possibly for the entire series. DALLAS — Kevin Durant scored 24 points and James Harden added 23, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 106-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night, knotting the Western Conference finals at one game each. Durant was as tough to guard as ever, but the real difference was Harden and the bench coming up big, especially down the stretch. The bearded, left-handed guard had a four-point play in the final seconds of the third quarter that put Oklahoma City up by one. Then he and fellow reserves Eric Maynor, Nick Collison and Daequan Cook teamed with Durant to outplay Dallas' crew of closers in the final period. Read full article >> Durant, Harden lead Thunder past Mavs 106-100; Western Conference finals head to OKC tied 1-1 A political thriller/courtroom drama about the Oklahoma City bombing. [...] Director of Rain Man, Diner and Wag the Dog set to begin work on OKC, a drama about the events of April 1995, reports say Acclaimed director Barry Levinson is to tackle the subject of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the deadliest act of terrorism on US soil before the 9/11 attacks, in an independent film titled OKC, reports say. Deadline says the film will focus on a young legal clerk on bomber Timothy McVeigh's defence team whose determination to expose the truth almost destroyed him. Screenwriter Clay Wold is the brother of the clerk and has supposedly written the story based on his sibling's experiences. Wold is due to hand his latest draft in to producers next week. The Oklahoma City bombing took place on 19 April 1995. It killed 168 people and injured hundreds more. McVeigh was later executed by lethal injection for his crime. Levinson won an Oscar for best director for Rain Man. He also won plaudits for Diner, Bugsy and Tin Men. More recently he has made regular forays into political satire, via his 1997 and 2006 films Wag the Dog and Man of the Year. The bombing has been the ... How do the Thunder stop Zach Randolph after his dominant series opener? Simple: Just ask Nick Collison to handle the task. OKC's reserve forward succeeds by muzzling Memphis' star, helping his team even the series, Royce Young says.
