Not really. I still think he had a more impactful game against OKC.

But he did have some fantastic stretches. He was stifling all night at the rim. Suffocating. Some of the best rim protection I've seen in Mavs history. He hustled like crazy for every ball. He did leave some rebounds open and GSW put him in a lot of perimeter switches that he struggled against.

But he was without a doubt the dirkie for me this game.

Kyrie a close 2nd. Exum and Lively a distant 3rd.

14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
