STEADY IN THE CLUTCH

End-game woes is a perennial problem for the Dallas Mavericks in past playoffs. But that was before. The Mavericks has now improved tremendously in this year’s edition of the post-season play. They are currently leading the dangerous Portland Trail Blazers, 2-0 in their best-of-seven first round series. And twice they out-gunned and out-hustled the Rose City outfit in the clutch to win, 89-81 and 101-89 at home.  Mavericks star forward Dirk Nowitzki says their improvement can be the result of what they have been working on during the last two weeks of the regular season and that is to become much steadier in the final quarter, according to ESPN Dallas.

“That's what we've been working on the last couple weeks of the season. Sometimes we lost our composure there in the fourth quarters when the games got tight. We can't do that in the playoffs. We've got to stick together.”
