The Last Stand turned into a huge disaster.
Phil Jackson's decorated coaching career ended in the worst way anyone could have imagined as he and the LA Lakers got busted out of the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks after a 122-86 demolishing to complete the 4-0 sweep of the Western Conference semifinals last night in Dallas Texas.
Mavericks lit up the Lakers with 20 three pointers tying the record for most 3's in a playoff game and their 49 three pointers set the new record for most 3's in a 4 game series. Jason Terry was literally on fire scoring 32 points including 9-10 three's as he tied the record for most in a single game.
Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum got ejected in the latter part of the game as they were both called for flagrant fouls 2 in a point of the game where the Lakers clearly had no chance and the series was definitely over.
Back up pointguard JJ Barea scored 22 for the Mavs and one of the heroes of their Game 3 comeback Peja Stojakovic came up big once again scoring 21 as they close out the Lakers in a total over run.
This is the most disastrous series in Phil Jackson's career as he was down 0-3 for the first time and this sweep only made things that much worse.
The Mavs will face the winner of the OKC vs Memphis battle in th West Finals in a series where the Grizzlies are leading 2-1
