MANILA, Philippines – Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade will be bringing down the curtain on their storied NBA careers and they did not disappoint in their final home games on Tuesday, April 9 (Wednesday, April 10, Philippine time).
Nowitzki followed up the surprise announcement of his retirement with his best offensive game in recent memory as he put up 30 points off 5 triples in Dallas Mavericks’ 120-109 win over the Phoenix Suns.
Wade likewise dropped 30 points, powering the Miami Heat to a 122-99 romp over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Elsewhere, the Los Angeles Lakers succumb a 101-104 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers no thanks to Mo Harkless’ game-winning three-pointer on the heels of Magic Johnson stepping down as president of basketball operations.
