Brandon Roy was the deciding factor in a game that seemed out of reach for the Blazers until he scored 18 of his game-high 24 points in the fourth quarter. In which he made 8 of 10 field goals, had four dimes, five rebounds and a 4 point play to help the Blazers pull even with the Mavs that were up by 18 points heading into the final quarter. Then he gave them the lead.
Without a doubt, his performance was the feel good story of the 2011 playoffs.
