Notebook

  • Dirk Nowitzki reached the 50,000-minute milestone tonight, becoming just the sixth player in NBA history to play 50K. He also passed Elvin Hayes, who somehow played exactly 50,000 minutes in his career, for fifth place on the all-time list. Dirk became the founding member of the club of players who achieved a regular-season MVP, Finals MVP, 30,000 career points, 50,000 minutes played, and 20 seasons played for only one team.
