Mavericks send Lakers home with an embarrassing sweep

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

Mavs rally back to win Game 3 and take astounding 3-0 lead

Phil Jackson's last coaching season is in danger of ending in a horrible way.

The Dallas Mavericks are one win away from sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers and eradicating their aspirations on a three-peat of the championship before their long time head coach Phil Jackson retires from coaching.

Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, and 4th quarter hero Peja Stojakovic worked hand in hand to lead the Mavs' comeback after the Lakers took an 8 point lead with less than 7 minutes remaining and seal the victory. Nowitzki scored 32 points and 9 rebounds, Terry tallied 23 points and Stojakovic added 15, including 11 in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers sorely missed the services of Ron Artest as he was suspended due to a "clothesline" he gave JJ Barea at the final minutes of their Game 2 loss. They started with Odom at the small forward position which gave them success pounding the ball to the interior but they had trouble covering the Mavs from the outside.

Phil Jackson has never been down 0-3 on a series until now and he and his team are in great danger of being sent home by a series sweep, something Jackson has never experienced in his decorated 20 year coaching career.

Game 4 will be held Sunday, still at Dallas Texas where the home team will be cheered on by a jam packed crowd as they try to sweep the Lakers and end their 3 year reign as Western Conference champions.
