3 things from Dirk Nowitzki’s final home game as Dallas beat Phoenix, 120-109

The Dallas Mavericks walloped the Phoenix Suns Tuesday night, 120-109. Dirk Nowitzki powered the Mavericks, perhaps for his final time, with 30 points. Jamal Crawford, fellow old man, poured in 51 for the Suns off the bench in defeat.

If I told you Dirk Nowitzki, in the year 2019, opened the game shooting eight straight times? Because that happened and it doesn’t make sense hours later. The legend scored 10 points on 9 shots in the opening frame as the Mavericks ran play after play for Dirk to open the game, until the no-fun Suns started sending double teams at the 40 year old forward.
