If this was the Mavericks star’s last game in Los Angeles, the Clippers coach made sure he had something special to remember.
It was a curious moment, one that left Dirk Nowitzki a little baffled at first. Why on earth was Los Angeles Clippers Coach Doc Rivers calling a timeout with 9.4 seconds left and his team holding a nine-point lead?
The answer was simple: Rivers stopped time to make sure that the Staples Center fans appreciated what they were seeing. He grabbed the microphone and urged fans to stand and applaud the Dallas Mavericks forward, who may have been making the final L.A. appearance of his 21-year career. The Mavericks lost for the fifth straight time, falling six games out of landing the final postseason spot, and the Mavs have no more games against the Lakers.
“Dirk Nowitzki,” Rivers shouted as he took the mic, clearing up the mystery and urging fans to stand. “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. One of greatest of all time, Dirk Nowitzki.” Rivers, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, players and fans gave Nowitzki extended applause.
