Butler leads the way as Mavs dump Spurs, avoid elimination

Basketball Betting Lines

04/28/2010 - Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Caron Butler poured in a playoff career-best 35 points to go with 11 rebounds, and the Dallas Mavericks staved off elimination with a convincing 103-81 win over the San Antonio Spurs.

Butler was the offense's focal point, hitting 12-of-24 shots and 8-of-9 from the free throw line for the Mavs, who will have to duplicate their season-ending three-game win streak against the Spurs to move into the conference semis. Dallas is facing long odds, however, as only eight out of 189 teams have responded from a 3-1 series deficit to advance.

Dirk Nowitzki chipped in with 15 points and nine rebounds for Dallas, which faces another must-win game on Thursday in San Antonio, where it lost Games 3 and 4 last week. Jason Terry added 12 points, while Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion each had 10.

Tony Parker came off the bench and tallied 18 points -- 17 in the first half -- for the Spurs, who had won the previous three games in this series. San Antonio, which shot a putrid 35.9 percent from the field, got 12 points from George Hill and 11 from Tim Duncan in defeat.
