The run of seven Rangers/Mavericks identical outcomes ended. Rangers beat Seattle 6-4 but by that time, the freefall in Pheonix had already started.
Before last night, Dirk had scored 20 points or more in 42 consecutive games. That streak is over.
And then there's this kind of streaker. (Note: You Tube will warn you about nudity. Don't worry. It's not sexual. And it's all male.)A few other notes from last night:
Apparently, Avery's wife is as much as fighter as he is.
I was so stunned I just sat there after the game and watched post-game interviews. Our guys did us proud in those interviews.
- D'Antoni said words like "special" and "precious." Avery uses words like "rebound" and "defense." One of those two guys sounds like a basketball coach.
- Both Avery and Dirk used the "next question" answer last night but both had good reason to do it and only did it once.
- When an FSN Phoenix reporter gave Jerry Stackhouse a question that amounted to multiple choice regarding why the Mavs lost, Stackhouse said, "We're not going to make excuses when we lose. They were a better team tonight. They beat us. We're going to accept that and get ready for the next game."
- Josh Howard said they let this one "slip away" and let Game 1 "slip away." I think that's this team's mentality. They're not thinking that they're up against this big giant who they can't stop. They all believe they can climb this mountain and it's up to them to do it. They act like the outcome is in their hands, not hinged on whether the Suns shoot better than 50 percent or something.
