Mavericks Vs Lakers

Game 4 is Saturday night in Dallas, where the Thunder led throughout and by as many as 26 points in a dominating 95-79 victory in Game 3 after winning the first two games at home by a combined four points.

"You don't ever anticipate being up by mid-20s against Dallas on their home floor. That's awful aggressive on your part if you're thinking that way," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "We've played good basketball."

After Dallas surprisingly swept past the Lakers to get to the Western Conference finals last year, the Mavericks needed only five games to eliminate Oklahoma City.

Only a week into this year's playoffs, the Mavs find themselves playing for a little pride and trying to at least win one game.

No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series.
