Everyone could put the ”Dirk Nowitzki is too old” talks to rest…at least for now. Last night, Nowitzki exploded for 40 points against the Utah Jazz, including a franchise-record 29 points in the 4th quarter. In the 4th, Nowitzki went 7-8 from the field and a perfect 14-14 from the free throw line. The Jazz, who had a lead of 16 points in this game, ended up losing by 11 due to the fire that Nowitzki caught in that explosive 4th quarter. In the picture below, Dirk Nowitzki is shooting a ball of fire towards the hoop. Based on the way he performed in the 4th, you know that shot is going right through the net.
