Bangis ni LeBron, 'di umubra sa Mavs DALLAS (AP) --- Ganito kalupit ang nilalaro ng Dallas Mavericks sa mga araw na ito: Kahit sa isa sa pinakamabangis na gabi ni Cavs star LeBron James, hindi pa rin sila natinag. Rumatrat ng 39 points si James sa kumbinasyon ng sandamukal na dunks at kabi-kabilang birada sa opensa habang dumipensa pa kontra karibal sa MVP race na si Dirk Nowitzki sa kritikal na yugto ng laro. Pero nagmintis si James ng dalawang freethrows at isang pares ng three-pointers sa huling 13.7 segundo, dahilan para makatakas ang Mavericks paalpas sa Cleveland Cavaliers, 95-92, para itala sa Dallas ang franchise record-tying 14 sunod na panalo. "It wasn’t the prettiest win in that streak, but a win is a win," ani Mavs forward Jerry Stackhouse. "LeBron is tough to guard - so strong, so talented. We all had an emphasis on trying to slow him down and he still almost had 40." Ayon kay Mavs coach Avery Johnson: "We gave him some different looks - he still exploited some of our coverage. Sometimes we had three people on him and he was still able to split (them) like he was 160 pounds, then he was powerful like he was 260." Tinawag ni Cavs coach Mike Brown ang laro ng kanyang alas bilang "James’ second-best performance of the season", at kinumpirmang kundi sa intensidad ni LeBron ay baka naiwan na sila ng Dallas. Kahit si James ay aminado na maganda ang nadama niyang pakiramdam at ritmo. "I wanted to be focused and our team could tell," aniya. "I tried to be as aggressive as possible." Subalit hindi sasapat ito katapat ang Dallas, ang koponang sakay ng 21 sunod na pamamayagpag sa homecourt. "They have a lot of weapons. They’re definitely the favorite in the West," ani James. "We played a good game, but it doesn’t make me feel good because we lost. |
