The Dallas Mavericks will surely go for the kill in game six against the Portland Trail Blazers in their Western Conference first round playoff series. The Mavs are up 3-2 as the series shifts back to the Rose City. The last time they were in Portland was not a good one for Dallas. It gave them a big heart-breaker of a loss when they squandered a 23-point lead in the third canto and eventually allowed the Blazers to level-up the series at two-games apiece. Brandon Roy was their biggest headache in that game. The Mavericks went to work in game five as they checked Roy defensively, who finished with a measly five points. Dallas head coach Rick Carlisle says they will continue to have a defensive game plan against a great offensive player like Roy in game six, according to the Star Telegram.
“He's a great player, and great players are capable of big games at any time. We did a better job [Monday] night than we did in Game 4. That's obvious. Look, he's a priority, particularly after the fourth game. We view him as an All-Star player that's extremely dangerous, and so we'll continue to game plan for him that way.”
