NBA Playoffs: Mavs One Win Away From Detroning Lakers; Bulls Top Hawks In Atlanta To Take 2-1 Series Lead

Western Conference:


At Dallas:


Dirk Nowitski scored 32 points, while Jason Terry added 23, and Peja Stojakovic scored 11 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter as the Dallas Mavericks erased an eight-point deficit at home and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 98-92 in game three of their conference semifinal series.  The Mavericks now lead the two-time defending champs three games to none, and no team in NBA history has ever come back from such a deficit to win a best-of-seven playoff series.
