Mavs bounce back to win Game 5 vs. Trail Blazers

Then again, it could easily still go to a seventh game. The home team has won every game this series.

"Let's hope that it stays that way for us," Portland coach Nate McMillan said.

Blazers center Marcus Camby warned that his club "can't rely on being home as a cure-all."

"We have to play a whole lot better," he said.

Jason Terry scored 20 points for Dallas and Shawn Marion added 14. Jason Kidd had 14 assists and four points, with his only basket coming long after the game was decided.

Andre Miller led Portland with 18 points and Gerald Wallace scored 18. LaMarcus Aldridge had only 12 points.

NOTES: Roy was booed when he first went into the game, but fans seemed to lose interest in him. ... The Blazers took a single free throw in the first half, for defensive 3 seconds. They took 18 in the second half. ... Miller has made four 3-pointers this series. He made four over the regular season. ... The Game 4 meltdown loomed over the Mavs because of its epic proportions. Only two teams had blown such a big, late lead — and Kidd happened to part of another with the New Jersey Nets in the 2002 Eastern Conference finals. He recalled that club letting up, just like this team did. He also recalled that the '02 Nets nearly did it again the next game, but held on for the win. They also won the next two games to reach the NBA finals. "It was a great learning experience because it brought us together," Kidd said.
