You gotta love Dirk Nowitzki. He and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 93-87 on Monday night. Nowitzki led all scorers with 29 points, but the Mavs were once again aided by the contributions of offseason pickup of Zaza Pachulia, who finished with a double-double (13 points, 11 rebounds) in 32 minutes as the starting center.
