In this edition of the End Score Report, Dan Devone gives his take on the latest news from the world of sports:

• Kentucky Derby: Horses built and bred to run, what we feel about it. Dan is pulling for Scat Daddy.
• April-Rod: Alex Rodriguez can’t be Mr. April in NY and have success. He has to be in it for the long haul.
• Keyshaun Johnson, the Mouth of the South.
• Sydney Crosby: The second coming of Wayne Gretzky, Crosby is going to bring attention back to the NHL and hockey.
• Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks: Dirk needs to take the Mavs to the Promiseland, and start going to the hoop to start making moves. You can’t be a 7-foot tall jumper.

Warriors Make History, Defeat Number One Seed Mavericks

Avery Johnson said all the pressure was on the Warriors. With a game 7 in Dallas looming, there was most assuredly plenty of pressure to be had. But you wouldn’t have known that from watching the Warriors on Thursday night. In their second straight game with a chance to eliminate the Mavs, the Warriors took care of business in the second half and finished off Mark Cuban’s club, 111-86, taking the series in six games.

It’s already been herald as the biggest upset in NBA playoff history. The Warriors were not given a chance in this series by anyone – but that didn’t stop them from becoming only the third eight-seed team to ever eliminate a number one seed in the playoffs, and the first team to accomplish this since the first round turned to a seven game series in 2002.
