Thunder Sweep NBA Defending Champion Mavericks

 Last spring during the 2011 Playoffs the Dallas Mavericks would face the Los Angeles Lakers. Los Angeles was looking for their fourth straight appearance in the NBA Finals and attempting to three peat. Dallas would win two close road games in LA to open the series, then at home in Games 3 and 4, they would blow the Lakers out the gym, knocking the defending champions out in a four game sweep. Fast forward to the 2012 Playoffs the Oklahoma City Thunder would face the Dallas Mavericks. Dallas knocked off Miami last year in the NBA Finals are were attempting to repeat. Funny how history would repeat itself. Now Dallas is out after four games. Oklahoma won Games 1 and 2 at home by a total of 4 points. The Thunder won Game 3 in Dallas in blowout fashion, then Game 4 they would make a 4th quarter comeback to advance. Who knows if Oklahoma City will utilize this series like Dallas did a season ago, to go on and win a World Championship.
