What an impressive start to the NBA Playoffs for the Oklahoma City Thunder: Sweeping the defending champion Mavericks. The biggest thing I take from this performance was James Harden, who scored 15 of his 29 points in the 4th quarter. The Thunder were down 13 with 9:44 left, but rallied and ended up winning 103-97. Dirk Nowitzki was his usual self, scoring 34 points, but the Mavericks were missing two things this year that really hurt them; Tyson Chandler in the middle, and the magic that followed them throughout the post-season. The Thunder look poised to win the West, especially if they play the way they did tonight.
