Serge Ibaka stood right up to Dirk Nowitzki, stretching his seven-foot-four wingspan to make the view of the basket as tough as possible.

And it hardly mattered.

Wherever he went, whoever he was up against, Nowitzki either nailed a shot or made his way to the foul line. He hit 10 of his first 11 shots from the field and an NBA playoff-record 24 straight free throws on the way to 48 points, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 121-112 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Tuesday night.

"I thought Dirk was pretty good tonight," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said, laughing. "I thought we defended him as close as we can -- obviously, too close."

  • 48 points on 15 shots, that's as efficient as it gets

  • @keegan342 That doesn't change the fact that half of his points were free throws, though.

  • I bet you guys $100 Dallas Wins the whole thing ;)

  • @Aleeeeeeeeeeeexxxx he got to the line 12 times.he gets 2 shots every time,stupid.

  • @Terrell8976 You gotta be Dirk thats how

  • there's no use guarding Dirk when he got to his spot, he will just shoot right over you with his trained muscle.

  • how do you score 24 points 100%? freethrows

  • how did he get to the line 24 times? half his points were free throws...geez.
