May 3, 2001, Salt Lake City, Utah: Don Nelson and Calvin Booth celebrate after the Mavericks erased a 14-point fourth quarter deficit to defeat Karl Malone and the Jazz, 84-83, in the deciding Game Five of their first-round series. Booth scored the winning layup.
Dallas was making its first post-season appearance in 11 years and dropped the first two games in Utah to fall into an 0-2 hole. The young Mavericks then proceeded to reel off three straight wins to shock the Jazz and move on.
"At halftime, we just said 'Stay positive', and we did all the way."
- Steve Nash
