NBA<\/o:p><\/h1>\n

Clippers-Suns<\/h2>\n

USA<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> Today<\/o:p><\/h3>\n

In the Suns-Clippers series, the winning team has failed
\nto score 100 points only once and the Clippers are averaging 114.3 points, 17.1
\nmore than in the regular season. The Suns are averaging 109.8, 1.4 more than
\nthe regular season. <\/p>\n

All Headline News<\/h3>\n

The Suns are now headed into their second straight game
\nseven. Last round, the Suns defeated the LA Lakers, 121-90 back at home in game
\nseven. The Suns appeared to be a little sluggish out on the floor. Phoenix<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\nhad good reason to be tired,<\/span> they\u2019ve played every
\nother day since April 26, for a total of 12 games in 22 days.<\/p>\n

Mavericks-Spurs<\/h2>\n

American Statesmen<\/h3>\n

The Spurs were not built for this
\nseries, which is tied at three victories apiece before the decisive game
\ntonight in <\/a>San
\nAntonio<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:City>.
\nThe Spurs\u2019 roster, Walton suggested, was put together for tangling with
\nShaquille O\u2019Neal \u2014 first with the Los Angeles Lakers, now Miami \u2014 and the
\nDetroit Pistons. Those are teams generally constructed along traditional lines,
\ntheir offense produced by a mix of players posting up inside, driving and
\nshooting from the perimeter. <\/span>Dallas<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:City>, on the other hand, is predominantly a
\nperimeter-based team that drives and shoots a lot of jump shots. The Mavs<\/span>, quick and skilled, have forced <\/span>San Antonio<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> to use a smaller lineup, negating to a large
\ndegree the Spurs\u2019 biggest asset while winning<\/span> three
\nNBA titles since 1999: interior defense. Fortunately for the Spurs, they have
\nadapted well enough to win the last two games. <\/span>Recent NBA history
\nsuggests that the Spurs have an advantage tonight. Since 2000-01, home teams
\nhave a 13-3 record in the seventh game of playoff series. But in this matchup,
\nwho really knows? The teams have split 10 games this season, each winning twice
\non the road. Dallas<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> won Game 2 in San
\nAntonio<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> by 22 points, the only blowout of the series.
\nThe other five have been decided by a total of 14 points. In Game 6, Dallas<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>
\nshot 38.6 percent, scoring 39 points in the second half. The Mavs<\/span> shot airballs<\/span> at the end of
\nall three Spurs\u2019 victories, one apiece by Jerry Stackhouse, Terry and Nowitzki.
\nThe absence of Terry, an adept shooter who scored 32 points in Game 4, enabled
\nthe Spurs to provide help against other Mavericks on Friday. Stackhouse missed
\n11 of 15 shots, Devin Harris 11 of 14. Now Terry returns, and the Spurs have
\nregained homecourt advantage.\u00a0 <\/span>In this
\nseries, the Spurs have allowed 113.3 points in their three defeats and 89.3
\nwhile winning.<\/p>\n

WOAI.com<\/h3>\n

Dallas<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> already
\nhas blown two chances to advance. A third would make the Mavericks only the
\nninth team in league history to squander a 3-1 series lead.<\/p>\n
