Mavs News: Memphis game 2

by patricia@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Patricia Bender) Apr 28, 2006 at 12:48 AM

Game 2: Memphis at Dallas  (April 26)

It was an offensive game in the 1st quarter as neither team was able to
stop the other.  Dallas scored 6 straight points to take a 9-5 lead with
9:35 remaining, but the game stayed close with Dallas holding a small
lead, none larger than 4 points.  Mike Miller converted a 3-point play
with a fraction of a second left in the quarter.  Dallas led 32-31 after
1.  Josh Howard had 12 points and Pau Gasol had 10 points.   Dallas shot
11-15 FG and 9-9 FT and Memphis shot 11-21 FG including 4-5 3-pointers.
Miller converted a 3-point play and Lorenzen Wright got a putback dunk to 
give Memphis a 36-32 lead with 10:45 left.  Dirk Nowitzki then scored the 
next 9 points to put Dallas up 41-36 with 8:15 to go.  Both DeSagana Diop 
and Erick Dampier picked up their 3rd foul midway through the quarter, so 
DJ Mbenga came into the game and played well the rest of the quarter.  
Dallas led 46-43 with 5:50 remaining and Memphis collapsed and didn't 
score again in the quarter in missing 5 shots, missing a free throw and 
having a lane violation on the 2nd free throw (technically a turnover), 
and committing 6 turnovers the rest of the quarter and Dallas scored the 
last 10 points of the quarter to go up 56-43 at the half.  Nowitzki had 
13 points in the quarter and 21 for the half (and Gasol did not score in 
the 2nd quarter).  Dallas out-scored Memphis 24-12 in the 2nd quarter as 
the Grizzlies shot just 4-13 FG and had 10 turnovers (after having none in
the 1st quarter).  Memphis' struggles continued to open the 3rd quarter as
they missed 2 shots and committed 2 more turnovers and Dallas scored the 
first 5 points of the quarter to go up 61-43 with 10 minutes left.  Gasol 
hit 2 free throws, but Jason Terry nailed a 3-pointer late in the shot 
clock.  Eddie Jones got a dunk with 8:20 left to end Memphis' 10:45 
drought without a field goal (7:07 in the 2nd quarter).  But Memphis would
get no closer than 15 points in the quarter.  Dallas closed the quarter 
with a bucket inside by Devin Harris and layup by Jerry Stackhouse gave 
Dallas their largest lead at 76-56 after 3.  Dallas out-scored Memphis 
20-13 in the 3rd quarter as Memphis shot just 4-13 FG.  Dallas' lead 
ranged between 16 and 20 points of the first 6 minutes of the 4th quarter.
A 3-pointer by Bobby Jackson pulled Memphis within 71-86 with 5:35 
remaining, but Harris answered with a 3-point play.  Jackson scored on 
consecutive possessions to pull Memphis within 78-91 with 1:35 to go, but 
Josh Howard hit a jumper on Dallas' next possession and Memphis would 
connect on just 1 free throw the rest of the way.  Dallas won 94-79.  
Dallas leads the series 2-0.


The game started with a surprise with both teams scoring so easily that
you knew both coaches, with their defensive pride, had to be going nuts.
Then Memphis simply collapsed in the 2nd quarter and Dallas, to their
credit, took advantage and built a double-digit lead.  Some of their
turnovers were unforced and you could just see them start to hang their
heads and get down on themselves as nothing was working.  Dallas did force
some turnovers (and I disagree with Fratello's implying all the offensive
fouls were unforced), but some were as silly as bouncing the ball off a 
leg.  It was such a dramatic turn around after the 1st quarter - Memphis
had 31 points in the 1st quarter and just 25 points combined in the 2nd
and 3rd quarters; they had no turnovers in the 1st quarter and 15
turnovers combined in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.  Even though it was a
blowout, it wasn't a stellar game by the Mavs - they went through a couple
of droughts themselves (though much shorter than Memphis').  Though their
defense was lax in the 1st quarter, they did pick it up in the 2nd
quarter.  The Mavs did start the game with the intent of pu****ng the ball
and that worked out well for them.  For the game, Dallas shot 44.9% 
(31-69) FG including 4-14 3-pointers.  Memphis shot 45.9% (28-61) FG as
the Grizzlies again set an opponent playoff low for FGA (had 62 in game 1)
and tied the opponent playoff low for FGM.  They also shot 5-14
3-pointers (but just 1-9 3-pointers after the 1st quarter).  Dallas shot 
28-36 FT and Memphis shot 18-26 FT.  Dallas out-rebounded Memphis 37-34
including 11-7 offensive.  Memphis committeed 20 turnovers and Dallas had
13 turnovers - and Memphis had just 1 steal in the game.  Game 3 is
Saturday at 4:30 pm in Memphis.

Dirk Nowitzki again lead the way for Dallas with 31 points - 21 of which
came in the 1st half - including 12-14 FT.  It wasn't an all-around game 
for him, though, as he had just 4 rebounds (and 2 came in the last 4 
minutes of the game) and 1 assist.  He picked up 2 fouls in the 1st
quarter (one off a bad call), but only had 1 more the rest of the game.  
12 of Josh Howard's 17 points came in the 1st quarter.  He also had 6
rebounds and 3 steals.  Jason Terry played really well and found Nowitzki
and Howard for p***** early and often.  8 of his 9 assists came in the 1st
half.  He also had 16 points and 6 rebounds.  DJ Mbenga provided a bit of
energy and hustle in the 2nd quarter and DeSagana Diop and Erick Dampier 
picked up their 3rd fouls.  Mbenga had 2 points, 2 rebounds, and a block 
in 6 minutes in the 2nd quarter (came in for the last minute of the game 
and had another rebound).  Diop hasn't been effective in his first 2 
playoff games and had just 3 points, 1 rebound, and 5 fouls in 14 minutes 
in this game.  Dampier had a quieter night after his strong first game 
with 8 points including 2-8 FG, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 26 minutes.  
Adrian Griffin played his role and had 6 points on 3-3 FG, 3 rebounds, 
and 2 assists in 20 minutes.  Marquis Daniels missed his only shot, but
had 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 18 minutes.  Devin Harris was aggressive
in his time on the court as he is returning to form.  He had 8 points
including 3-4 FG in 15 minutes.  Jerry Stackhouse didn't do much and had 4
points on 2-7 FG and 3 rebounds in 24 minutes.  Josh Powell saw his first
playoff action in resting Nowitzki during the 2nd quarter and he also came
in at the tail end of the game.  1 foul was his only stat in 4 minutes
Darrell Armstrong missed his only attempt and only played the last 1:20 of
the game.

Pau Gasol started strong with 10 points, but disappeared after that.  He
finished with 16 points, a game high for Memphis.  He also had 7 rebounds
and 5 assists, both game highs for Memphis.  7 of Bobby Jackson's 12
points came in the last 6 minutes of the game as he tried to give Memphis
a spark, but he didn't get any help.  He only had 1 assist and had 5
turnovers in his 28 minutes.  Eddie Jones was the only other Grizzly in
double-digits with 11 points.  He also had 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Chucky Atkins didn't have foul trouble as an excuse for his poor outing
this time.  Atkins had 7 points including 2-8 FG in 26 minutes.  He did
have 4 assists.  Key 6th man Mike Miller had just 9 points including 2-7
FG and 5 rebounds in 24 minutes.  Jake Tsakalidis reverted to form after a
strong game 1 and didn't attempt a shot and had 2 rebounds in 16 minutes.
Shane Battier had 4 points, 4 fouls, and 4 turnovers.  Dahntay Jones and
Lorenzen Wright each had 8 points.

The officiating was terrible all away around, not surprising when I saw 
who the refs were.  Bennett Salvatore is only behind Joey Crawford for 
refs I don't want officiating an im****tant game.


Quotes [Johnson's, Nowitzki's, Fratello's, and Gasol's quotes and the 
first 2 quotes from Howard and Terry transcribed by me]
Avery Johnson: "Obviously tonight we'll just take this victory any kind of
way we can get it.  It's a good thing to be in this situation.  But, boy,
it's also a good thing to know that you're playing against a physical,
tough, hard-nose basketball team in Memphis.  A team that is really just
hard to score on.  And, boy, you better make strong moves and hard moves
because they make every possession tough on you.  This series is not over.
We've been in that position before.  We have a lot of respect for what
they do throughout the course of the game and see why they are one of the
top teams in the Western Conference.  There's still another level for the
Mavericks to go to and we're just not there yet.  We got stuck quite a bit
in the 4th quarter.  But again, I thought defensively after the 1st
quarter, we did get some stops and [were] pretty active.  Got our hands on
some balls.  Fortunately some turnovers were unforced and forced on both
ends, but we'll take any kind of easy baskets we can get in this series
because they're very hard to come by.  Again, like I told you guys after
the first game, this series is going to be a tough 7 game series and we
just got to try to go down to Memphis and know it's going to be pretty
crazy down there and hopefully be around in the 4th quarter to give
ourselves a chance to win because we know they're going to come out strong
like they did tonight when they scored 31 points on us."

Johnson on the 2nd quarter: "Well we had to make a few adjustments there.
But again, they were really aggressive.  We were just a step behind.  We
were playing on our heels.  We were not physical - really disappointed 
with that.  So we talked about it a little bit and they came out and
fortunately Memphis missed some shots over the 2nd and 3rd quarters and we
were able to get some rebounds and get out on the break a little bit.  We
were pretty happy that we were up 11 to nothing on the break after the 1st
half, but we kind of slowed down quite a bit in the 2nd half.  They threw
the press at us a little bit - we didn't handle that well, so we'll have a
look at that because we were up by 20 at that point and they threw the
press on us and, boy, we got stuck the rest of the game.  So that will be
something we have to work on.  That was my fault.  And we'll just keep
working on it."

Johnson on Powell and Mbenga: "Boy they did, they gave us a couple of
minutes there where Dirk was in a little foul trouble and I wanted to 
give him a blow.  He looked like he was a little tired.  And since he
looked tired tonight, he promised coach that instead of working out 3
times tomorrow, he's only going to work out 1 time.  So I'm supposed to be
happy because of this.  So he's not going to work out 3 separate times, 2
hours each, tomorrow.  He's only going to work out 1 time.  So Powell gave
us a blow there.  DJ was pretty good.  He did some really nice things for
us when both of our centers were in foul trouble."

Johnson on if he was happy with the team pu****ng the ball: "I really was.
I think that's a key to what we're all about is trying to play at our
tempo.  We don't naturally play as fast as we used to play, but we still
play a little bit faster than Memphis a little bit.  And that's what we
want to try to do some time when we get a chance.  So we were pretty much
playing at our tempo and we feel pretty comfortable when we're playing at
our tempo."

Johnson on Terry: "JT started off the game pu****ng it.  He started off the
game really being aggressive.  And, boy, JT's just come so far.  Man, he's
come so far.  And, you know, I don't have to scream at him as much like I
did in Orlando."

Johnson on Mbenga: "DJ did well.  He was in there and he's really been
working hard.  He's a guy that comes to practice and works really hard.
They pretty much haven't seen a lot of Mbenga.  He came out and gave us 6
or 7 quality minutes.  He rebounded the ball, great blocked shot, good
finish, 2 free throws rather.  Again, Damp was battling a little foul
trouble, but he came back strong.  So we need all 3 of our centers in this
series."

Johnson on Harris: "We were really looking for Devin to make a step
forward tonight and he did, even though he only played 15 minutes.  Boy,
he was a little more aggressive.  Only 1 turnover.  Hopefully he'll
continue to knock the rust off because we know we're going to need him as
this series goes on."

Johnson on turnovers: "Yeah, we'll take it.  Any kind of way we can get 
it - whether they are forced or unforced, we're not going to be chosey in
that situation.  We'll take 20 turnovers every night.  Because if we get
turnovers like that, we'll have a chance to get some easy baskets.  And
conversely, boy, we got to take care of the ball against Memphis because
they are very active defensively and we got to take care of the ball and
make sure that we have a good chance to get good shots, especially in
Memphis.  We're going into a hostile environment, so we better be ready to
play."

Dirk Nowitzki: "I wanted to come out really, really aggressively and made
my first couple of shots, felt great.  Got 2 [foul] calls and it kind of
took me out of the game a little bit.  But once I came back, guys were
looking for me.  I got open a couple of times and just felt great in the
1st half.  But whatever rhythm I had in the 1st half was definitely gone
in the 2nd half.  I had a lot of good looks in the 2nd half that I didn't
make.  Overall, I think we played some good defense, held them to 79
points.  Once we do that, we will always be in a position to win a game.
So that was that."

Nowitzki on the tempo: "I think we have a lot of athletes that are great
in the open court with Marquis and Josh and JET [Terry] so fast and
obviously Devin.  Really, we've been trying to do it all season long, but
in some games it didn't really work our way.  But once we rebound and we
push the ball, it's good sometimes.  In the playoffs, everything in 
halfcourt is so tough.  The opponents know what you do.  They know every 
call better than probably yourself.  It's good to push the ball and get 
some open looks in transition and get some layups and get the crowd 
going.  So that was great."

Nowitzki on if Dallas is in control: "Obviously it's a lot better than
being down 0-2 like last year.  But, you know, we came back from 0-2 last
year and ended up winning the series, so really anything is possible in
s****ts.  So we expect them to come out swinging on Saturday, especially at
home.  We just got to be ready.  That's the bottom line.  In this league
you can never relax.  I was part of a playoff series one year against
****tland.  We're up 3-0.  We relaxed a little bit in that 4th game.  They
found their rhythm.  Next thing you know, we found ourselves in a 7th
game.  So you always want to keep the pressure up, especially in the
playoffs.  So we'll see how we come out on Saturday."

Nowitzki: "In this league there are competitors and athletes and all the
competitors in this league have a pride about themselves and nobody just
throws the towels in.  Everybody wants to fight and wants to show what
they're capable of.  So I don't expect them just to throw it in.  They're
going to come out firing on all angles and we got to be ready.  Especially
on the road, it's always big that our defense is there, that we rebound,
and put ourselves in a position to win the game."

Nowitzki on Gasol: "He's really developed his game to where he is an
All-Star, where he is a superstar in this league over the last couple of
years.  He's got the complete package with passing and rebounding and
scoring.  So he's a tough player to play and to guard.  He's their team
leader.  I think he's doing a good job.  He came out on fire today.  Had
like 10 or 12 points in the 1st quarter.  I think after that we did a
decent job on him.  We got the ball out of his hands some.  We met him
early and tried to be physical with him because, really, that's the only
way you can play him.  I think he's still so young.  He'll be an even 
more tremendous in this league."

Josh Howard: "Just getting to the basket.  Finding the open man.  Just
trying to make my team better."

Howard: "We kept our hands in the passing lanes a lot.  We made sure they
got one shot and that was it.  We made sure we got out on the break, and
that was a big thing for us tonight."

Howard on defense: "Guys are buying into Avery's system like we've been 
saying all year.  We're just contesting a lot of shots and making sure 
they get just one shot and we get the rebound."

Howard on the 2nd quarter: "I think that was big for us.  We know that if
we let those guys stick around, they'll be there at the end of the game.
We just wanted to clamp down, and we did a great job on Pau.  I think he
only scored 4 points in the 2nd half, and I give that credit to Gana
[Diop] and Damp and even DJ [Mbenga] when he came in.  He came in and
did a great job for us."

Howard on defending Gasol: "You've got to send him the opposite way of
where he likes to go.  Our big guys have paid attention to the scouting
re****t and they are really doing their job."

Howard: "I don't think we're in their heads.  But we're real confident
right now.  We haven't played our best defense yet, but it's coming." 

Jason Terry on defense: "That's what it's all about.  It's all about
getting stops on the defensive end, getting out on transition, and getting
easy baskets.  You saw a lot of that in the 1st half.  The 2nd half, we
didn't do it as much, but we till were getting stops.  And that's what
this series is all about and the whole playoffs.  It's about our defense,
playing our system."

Terry: "You don't want to get in a halfcourt game.  We can do that, but
our style is to get up and down, get easy baskets and then if we don't,
then get something good.  But tonight I thought the bench came in and did
another solid job.  Defensively, DJ Mbenga came in and gave us a lift, so
that was good.  JHo [Howard] was back to sla****ng to the basket, getting
out in transition.  Dirk was Dirk.  It is 0-2.  That's how we're going
down to Memphis, it's 0-2, we're down and our backs are against the wall."

Terry: "We're just moving the ball around.  If guys are knocking down 
shots, assist numbers are going to be up."

Terry on his game: "I can get a lot better."

Jerry Stackhouse: "Our identity as an offensive team is set.  As a
defensive team, we're still a question mark to the m*****.  But we know
we're capable of winning that way." 

Stackhouse on Memphis: "We're just putting pressure on those guys by
making sure they don't get easy looks.  Once they have to create, they're
not as good." 

Stackhouse on Mbenga: "It was good to see DJ come in.  Dirk got into foul
trouble and Powell got in, and I think these guys worked hard during the
regular season to prepare themselves if they get a chance in the
playoffs." 

Mike Fratello: "Well the game start to get away with 7 minutes to go in
the 2nd quarter.  It was 46-43 and we then proceeded to have 7 turnovers
to end the quarter, we did not score another point.  Basically that's
where things started to fall apart at the seems.  And it happened at both
ends.  We had 2 or 3 defensive break downs right in a row, mistakes that
we made and then the 7 turnovers - 4 of which were offensive fouls to end
the quarter.  Again, 20 turnovers for us.  Last time 19 for 28 points,
this time 20 for 17 points.  And it puts you in a hole that's very
difficult to come back from when you get yourself down 18, 16-18 points,
you're trying to work your way back in.  In the areas of improvement: we
rebounded better and we played well for the 1st quarter and 5 minutes of
the 2nd quarter.  But then it started just [to] unravel, self inflicted.
4 offensive fouls - that's not giving yourself a chance right there.  So
they took their 2 here at home.  We go back to our place now.  We have a
couple of days to try to put this back in order and see if we can regroup
and play better at our place."

Fratello when asked about the turnovers: "I just said we had 7 turnovers.
I mean, what else can I say.  That's what I just told you: we had 7
turnovers.  I don't know how to answer the question any differently.  It
was 7:07 remaining, it was a 3 point game, we had 7 turnovers, 4 offensive
fouls.  If i can describe differently, help me out."

Fratello on Dallas' running game: "Because a lot of them are turnovers
that they're running back at us on.  If we can take care of the ball
better, get high percentage shots, if we execute our offense better then
they hopefully wouldn't have as many op****tunities of running the ball 
back at us.  But if you are going to turn it over, it's a problem.  It's 
not like this team can't score in transition.  They can.  And the more
possessions you give them, the more they're going to score.  It's a
difference of 7 in turnovers here - 20 for us, 13 for them.  There's a
difference in 8 field goal attempts tonight - 69 for them, 61 for us.
Possessions become very im****tant.  So you are going to keep turning it
over and not force turnovers at the other end, you are asking for a
problem."

Fratello on game 3: "The obvious that Dallas at home, they won both games.
We go back to our building now with our fans.  We have to have the effort
and energy and we'll have the sup****t of our people there.  We're playing
a great team.  So we know that when they come in the building, we have to
play our best basketball game.  We have to be near perfect against them
for 48 minutes, for 48 minutes.  And that's the biggest thing.  It's 48
minutes.  Learning to substain what you do for 48 minutes.  The 1st
quarter, 32-31.  Okay, that's just 12 minutes and there's still 36 minutes
to go.  So you have to substain that over 48 minutes.  We scored 12 points
with 8 turnovers in the 2nd quarter.  It's tough to score when you're
giving the ball away 8 possessions."

Fratello on if the turnovers were forced: "Both.  I said 4 offensive
fouls.  That's us screening people and moving, what ever the officials are
calling.  So some were forced, some were us, creating them ourselves."

Pau Gasol on the 2nd quarter: "They started doubling.  Kind of stopped
running plays for the postups.  I don't know, we kind of got lost a little
bit, especially in the 2nd quarter.  We just got out of the game for a few
minutes and that really cost us.  So that's what happened."

Gasol: "Turnovers caused that you hand over control of the game.  And it
was frustrating.  It was frustrating the way we were turning the ball over
and giving it back to them without making them work for it.  It was really
frustrating because it was really an intense game for a while at the
beginning and we had a very good chance to be right there.  Like I said,
we lost it for a few minutes and we paid for it.  It was a lot of things
that they called with the fouls - I don't know how many - but a lot of
them unusual.  I mean, the playoffs is about playing a little more
physical.  They called a lot of blocking, moving screens, fouls.  But you
know, nothing we can do.  We just got to focus on keeping our feet set and
just play with the same intensity we did tonight.  I think we came out
very aggressively and the right way.  We just, like I said, we lost it for
a little bit for a few minutes and really paid the consequences."

Gasol on recovering: "It's always hard, especially in our situation
because everybody keeps emphasizing that fact that we haven't won a 
playoff game.  It is a little hard, but at the same time, luckily we got 
some players that have been around this kind of situation before and are 
going to help us to get a positive mentality about it.  And what they did 
is just they won their 2 games.  They did what they were supposed to do 
here.  I think we played them tough for the most part and we just had a 
couple of breakdowns in 2 games that really hurt us.  Game 1, we just 
didn't play as hard as they did, I think, especially in that 1st half, and
we paid the consequence.  And then today, in the 2nd quarter we just lost 
it for a few minutes and so we're down 2-0.  But we have to come out hard 
on game 3 and really establish ourselves and get a win there.  And then 
the whole scenario changes.  But we got to do it.  We just got to make it 
happen."

Gasol on game 3: "It's going to be huge.  It's going to be huge.  I think
that this crowd really carried them as far as energy.  I'm guessing that
it was pretty fun for them to play here with this kind of crowd.  So we're
really looking forward to go back home and have that kind of feeling and
that kind of energy that we're definitely going to feed off and that's
going to give us what we have to keep our minds in the game for 48
minutes.  I think that's one of the things we have to do, keep our minds
in the game for 48 minutes and we'll be in good shape.  I think we're
going to play hard.  We played really hard tonight, we just, like I said,
we kind of broke down for a few minutes and that really cost us."

Gasol on the tempo: "We have to try to stop them earlier.  They could not
get as comfortable as they have in these last couple of games, period.  We
were right there in both games, but it's hard to keep that kind of pace.
So we just got to stop them earlier.  We got to figure a way to get them
out of their rhythm, out of their plays, out of their comfort zone.  We
got to do it, no matter how we're going to do it, we got to figure it out
in these couple of days.  How to come out and get them out of their
rhythm, make them feel uncomfortable out there, take tough shots, force
turnovers.  We're a good defensive team.  We just got to do it earlier.  I
know that it's a playoff game.  We just got to make it happen and
hopefully in game 3 it's going to be a different story, a different
scenario for us.  And I'm really excited about that.  Going back home with
our fans and get this monkey off our back, that is really getting heavy
right now."

Mike Miller: "They can score in bunches and they did a good job of putting
us away."

Shane Battier: "We turned the ball over too much and after that we had our
heads down.  We just didn't have it."

Battier: "No one remembers if you lost by a point or 15.  We're down 2-0.
....  Now we have to draw strength on the fact that we won 30 games at
home." 

Battier on Nowitzki: "I didn't do a very good job on him.  You just try to
make him work, and he made shots over me and around me." 

Eddie Jones on their 2nd and 3rd quarter drought: "That was amazing.
They're a good team, but they're not that great defensively."

Jones on game 3: "Right now, we're playing just like it's the last meal.
We've got to go in with that attitude.  We've got to find somehow and some
way to get it done."

Bobby Jackson: "We're not going to win any games if we turn the ball over
like that.  We've been taking care of the ball all season but now we're
just, for some reason, turning the ball over a little bit too much right
now." 

Jackson: "We just came out with no energy in the 2nd quarter and the 3rd
quarters.  Even though the refereeing was horrible tonight, we've got to
fight through that and don't let it affect us."

Lorenzen Wright on the 2nd quarter: "Everything was going good up until
then.  We've got to quit having the mental lapses because that's what's
costing us.  Their experience is taking them over.  They're still coming
at us, and they're still making it happen for them some kind of way."

Wright: "We've got 2 days to fix what went wrong.  We have to hold on to
our homecourt, and that's what we plan to do."
