SERIES NOTES:

Post-series assessment: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks 4-games-2 in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1109. With the series 1109 victory, the San Antonio Spurs improve their best-of-7 NBA playoff series record to 25-16 overall and 7-1 in the Preliminary round; with the series 1109 loss, the Dallas Mavericks see their best-of-7 NBA playoff series record fall to 8-13 overall and 4-4 in the Preliminary round. The win order for the victorious San Antonio Spurs in series 1109 was LWWWLW: Series 1109 thus becomes the first NBA Preliminary-round series, the ninth NBA series (all rounds), and the 40th MLB/NBA/NHL series (all rounds) to follow such a win order to series completion. In series 1109 Game 6, the San Antonio Spurs held the visiting Dallas Mavericks to eight first-quarter points. Those eight first-quarter points by the visiting Mavericks tie a record for fewest first-quarter points in a best-of-7 NBA playoff game, set in series 63 by the old Chicago Stags in Washington against the old Capitols (in Game 4 of their 1947 NBA Semifinals series ... the first-ever best-of-7 NBA playoff series) and tied in the shot-clock era in series 518 by the Utah Jazz in Los Angeles against the Lakers (in Game 1 of their 1988 NBA Quarterfinals series). In series 1109 Game 4, the San Antonio Spurs trailed the visiting Dallas Mavericks by 11 points at half-time, but rallied to win the game. In the history of best-of-7 NBA playoff series from 1947 through Saturday 24 April 2010, NBA teams trailing by 11 points at half-time had a game record of only 14-94 (.130).

Pre-series assessment: In the 2009-10 regular season, Dallas finished five games ahead of San Antonio. From 1947 through the 2009 NBA Finals, when NBA teams led their best-of-7 playoff series opponents by five regular-season games, they have posted a 23-8 (.742) best-of-7 series record in those series against those opponents. MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1109 is the 41st best-of-7 NBA playoff series for San Antonio, and the 21st for Dallas. In best-of-7 NBA playoff series, San Antonio has a 24-16 series record, a 6-1 Prelim-round series record, and a 23-17 Game 1 record, while Dallas has an 8-12 series record, a 4-3 Prelim-round record, and a 5-15 Game 1 record. Series 1109 is the fifth best-of-7 NBA playoff series meeting between San Antonio and Dallas; the teams split their first four series meetings.
