The Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs are playing Game 2 of their NBA playoffs series on Wednesday night and the matchup has the Mavs looking to win in SA for the first time in years and the game starts up at 8 pm ET on NBATV from the AT&T Center and has Dirk looking to take down Tim Duncan and the Big 3 in an all-Texas matchup.
The Mavericks had the lead in the second half, but the Spurs played great down the stretch and they got a nice game from Duncan as well as Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker and they were able to pull head to get that Game 1 win. The Spurs were the best team in the west and in the NBA this year and they beat out the OKC Thunder for home court and now they are gearing up for another NBA title run with their elderly Big 3 after playing against Miami and nearly winning last season.
LeBron James and the Heat were able to pull out that game and now they have the chance to push it even more with a win here on Wednesday, as the Miami Heat also play against the Charlotte Bobcats in their Game 2 matchup. The first game for the Spurs saw Tim Duncan finish with 27 points and he was a force all game, while Parker led with six assists and Tiago Splitter had 11 rebounds in the game and now they have the chance to get things going with a second straight win in the series.
Devin Harris was best for the Mavs, putting up 19 points and five assists and now they will need Dirk to heat up for any chance at winning away in San Antonio. The next game for the two teams on the schedule is on Saturday and that matchup will be on TNT for Game 3 and comes at 4:30 pm ET and that will move to Dallas for the next two games and the schedule that day also has the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis playing and the Grizzlies tied that series up and that could be a great matchup.
The games on Wednesday have Miami and Charlotte going at it, while the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets also will be playing and that is the late matchup. The games on Tuesday saw the Pacers even up their series with the Hawks after 27 points from Paul George, while the Nets lost to the Toronto Raptors and the Wizards won over the Chicago Bulls in overtime.
