Nowitzki’s Hard Work Starting to Pay Off?
It does mean there’s tangible hope that (Dirk) Nowitzki, who scored a total of only 28 points in the three games after his week-plus personal training camp/paid furlough, might get back in MVP mode soon.
It means the hard work Dirk has done recently with the Mavs’ staff and longtime mentor Holger Geschwindner might pay major immediate dividends.
“At some point, this kind of game was going to be a reality,” (Rick) Carlisle said. “It was great to see because he was doing everything. He was shooting the ball, he was driving the ball, rebounding. Overall, he was very active. Very positive.”
