Dirk Nowitzki and Dallas kept the Grizzlies winless in 12 playoff games.

Simply Mav-elous

Up nine at the half, the Mavs rode a 31-point third quarter to a first-round sweep -- and the Western Conference semis. Dallas beat the Grizzlies 102-76 on Monday to advance. Story | Highlights ESPN Motion

Dirk Nowitzki up top, Jerry Stackhouse in the post, Jason Terry for three or Josh Howard in transition. Take your pick.

If the Mavericks get into to any offensive slump, they can get points in transition, setting up their shooters with great spacing as it has looked like the Grizzlies have had trouble setting up their defense off a miss.
