Dirk smiles now at hole in Oracle Arena wall
SAN FRANCISCO -- For at least a brief moment Tuesday night, Dirk Nowitzki will look up and admire his unintentional artwork at Oracle Arena. The big hole up high in the wall outside of the visitors’ locker room is the result of Nowitzki’s frustration during one of the lowest points of his certain Hall of Fame career. It’s also a reminder of just how hard the big German’s journey to an NBA championship was. After the “We Believe” Warriors completed their historic 8-over-1 seed upset over the 67-win Mavs in 2007, a devastated Dirk picked up a trash can and heaved it at the wall.

A rare Mavs win on a Dirk off night
DALLAS – It just wasn’t Dirk Nowitzki’s night. But the Dallas Mavericks beat the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference anyway. Considering that the Indiana Pacers are the NBA’s best defensive team, it’d be easy to give them credit for Nowitzki going 3-of-14 from the floor, matching his worst shooting performance of the season. The reality, though, is that the big German missed some shots that are usually gimmes for him.

Mavs bounce back by beating two heavyweights
DALLAS – At the end of arguably their best weekend of the season, the Dallas Mavericks still had their miserable performance days earlier in Denver on their minds. “If we play like that, collectively, we’ll get our butts kicked, like Bella Thorne in an arm wrestling contest,” coach Rick Carlisle. Bella Thorne? She’s a rather thin actress in “Shake It Up,” a Disney show that is the favorite of Carlisle’s 9-year-old daughter, Abby.
