Nowitzki looks to help Mavs even series (AP)
Published 4/26/2008 at Yahoo! Sports - NBA News
Dirk Nowitzki heard plenty of criticism after he struggled in the first round of the playoffs last season. When the Mavericks needed a big game Friday to avoid a 3-0 deficit, Nowitzki responded with the type of performance he had in the 2006 postseason. The 2007 MVP scored 32 points, grabbed 19 rebounds and handed out six assists in Dallas' 97-87 victory over New Orleans.
