Spurs finish off second-seeded Mavs in six games

Basketball Betting Lines

04/29/2010 - San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manu Ginobili scored 26 points and George Hill added 21, as the seventh-seeded San Antonio Spurs sealed their Western Conference quarterfinal series over the second-seeded Dallas Mavericks with a 97-87 Game 6 victory at AT&T Center.

Since the NBA went a to best-of-seven first round format in 2003, a No. 7 seed had never topped a second seed.

Tim Duncan posted 17 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for the Spurs, who squandered a 22-point first-half lead before holding Dallas to 2-for-8 shooting from behind the arc in the final 12 minutes.

The Spurs await the winner of the Suns-Trail Blazers series, which could be finalized Thursday night with a Phoenix victory in Portland.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 of his 33 points in the second half, but it wasn't enough for the Mavs, who have failed to advance past the first round in three of the past four seasons.

Caron Butler tallied 25 points in the loss, while Rodrigue Beaubois was a spark off the bench with a 16-point effort.
