Mavericks Father Dirk Nowitzki made his first appearance as normal street clothes wearing basketball fan Friday night, when the Dallas Mavericks wrapped up a four-game homestand against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Nowitzki, who has been enjoying life as a run-of-the-mill retired 41 year old, got the crowd cheering early while the game got off to a rather slow start. And it was the bench that came in and did major work to extend the Mavericks lead, with Dallas leading 66-42 at half.
Though the Mavericks have a habit of slow starts after halftime, it was the third quarter that really sealed the game.
