Fantastic 4th: Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks surge past Jazz in record fashion

[MainEv3nt]

On a drab, lifeless Tuesday night at American Airlines Center, everybody found out how quickly a dud can turn into a stud.

 

It happened with Dirk Nowitzki.

 

And it happened with a dull game that turned absolutely mesmerizing, thrilling and historic in the fourth quarter.

 

The Mavericks looked dead for three quarters, and Nowitzki was searching for a pulse, too. Then, as if the paddles had jolted him back to life, Nowitzki dominated the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks pulled off a 27-point turnaround for a determined 96-85 victory over the Utah Jazz.

 

Nowitzki had 29 points in the fourth quarter, smashing the Mavericks record for points in a quarter set by Mark Aguirre in the first period against Denver on March 24, 1984.

Damn right. Now if only they played like this all season, not that bull crap first game. Locking down. Not being afraid to take shots. Hopefully we will only get better when J-Ho returns.

I can't imagine what is going through the mind of Deron Williams. From what I heard, the Jazz were killing the Mavericks and then melted down and Jesus decided to take the form of Dirk Nowitzki and go off in the 4th to win the game. I love Deron Williams but hate the Jazz...he needs to get traded or something.

Unbelievable how he was at 11 points with a rough shooting percentage entering the fourth, and he still became the first player in eight years to put up 40-10-5-5.
