Not really what I was expecting, but the first teams to advance to the 2nd round are the Mavericks and Clippers. Thought Memphis would put up a tougher fight in the series, but the Mavericks totally trashed them 102-76 to sweep the series. Dirk Nowitzki led the charge with 27 points on 12-of-21 shooting, while Josh Howard added 24. Pau Gasol led the Grizzlies by 25 but got almost no help from his teammates, with only Mike Miller in double figures adding 10 points.
The Clippers are proving they were alot more than was expected of them, finishing the Nuggets 101-83 to win the series 4-1. Cutino Mobley and Corey Maggette each had 23 points, and Elton Brand still played impressibly with 21 points and 13 rebounds, the leading Clippers to their first second round appearance in 30 years.
The Pistons got their third win over Bucks with a 109-99 victory, needing only one mroe to advance. Chauncey Billups sparked the Pistons with 34 points with 16-for-16 free throw shooting, including 13 points in the final period.
