    In maybe the greatest playoff upset in NBA history, the Golden State Warriors completely dismantled the No. 1 seed Dallas Mavericks on Thursday en route to a 111-86 Game 6 victory in front of a boisterous home crowd.
    Stephen Jackson played like a man possessed, drilling 7-of-8 3-pointers to total 33 points. Hobbled by a strained hamstring, Baron Davis gave an inspired performance by tallying 20 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, while his former college roommate, Matt Barnes, collected 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. It is only the third time in NBA history that an No. 8 seed has bested a No. 1 seed, and the first time ever in a seven-game series.

    Dallas, which won a franchise-best 67 games this season and was the defending Western Conference Champions, was led by Jerry Stackhouse's and Josh Howard's 20 points. MVP candidate Dirk Nowitzki struggled, shooting 2-of-13 from the field, finishing with eight points and 10 rebounds. The Mavs join the 1994 Sonics and the 1999 Heat as the only other top seeds to fall to an No. 8 seed in the playoffs.

    The Warriors face the winner of the Jazz-Rockets series in the second round, which begins on Monday.

    Is 64 wins the most in any season of Chris Paul’s and james Harden’s career?

    Paul's most wins were 57 (LAC)
    Harden's most wins were 56 (HOU)

    Those beat their OKC and NOLA stints too. However, Harden's last year at OKC was the lockout, and they won 71%, which would have been 58 wins.

    As of this post, the Rockets have a .780 winning percentage (32-9) against playoff teams. Against just West playoff teams it's .840 (21-4).

    Depending which teams actually make it in, those numbers could be as high as .810 and .885, respectively. :eek:

    Tied for 20th best record in NBA history. And the other three teams who finished with a 65-17 record all won titles that year.

    Also, tied for 4th best road record EVER. Only 72-73 Celtics, 95-96 Bulls and 15-16 Warriors had a better road record. That's a hell of an accomplishment.
