Baron Davis was main reason why Warriors became 1st No. 8 seed to win a best-of-7 series. Explosive point guard averaged 25 points against Mavs, shootin' 54 percent from field n' 45.5 percent from 3-point range. He scored 20 points in series-clinchin' Game 6 victory despite limpin' around on an injured hamstring.

Warriors relied on a small-ball style to upend Mavs, but Andris Biedrins, 1 true big man in their rotation, was a significant factor in series. He recorded 2 double-doubles, includin' a 12-point, 12-rebound performance in Game 6.

Dirk Nowitzki was unable to exploit his size advantage against Warriors, who relied on their quickness n' an assortment of double teams to stifle Mavs' star 7-footer. Nowitzki capped his disappointin' series with a 2-for-13 shootin' effort in Game 6.

Stephen Jackson had an eventful series. When he managed to stay on court--he was ejected from 2 games--he made big shot after big shot. He picked up slack for an ailin' Baron Davis in Game 6, hittin' 7-of-8 3-pointers n' finishin' with 33 points.

Jason Terry had a decent series offensively, but he n' Mavs' other perimeter defenders had no answer for Baron Davis, who expertly orchestrated a Warriors offense that averaged 105.2 points on 46.4 percent shootin'.
