Prevail

pre·vail

verb \pri-ˈvāl\

To gain ascendancy through strength or superiority.

The Dallas Mavericks prevailed against the Oklahoma City Thunder this Wednesday night & are now Western Conference champions. They now face the Miami Heat in the NBA finals once again. In 2006 the Heat beat the Mavs in the championship game, will this be a repeat of 06'? I sure hope not... GO MAVS!
