Dirk's trash can toss

Walking back to the locker room at halftime of Game 6 here last season, Dirk Nowitzki lost it. And a trash can got lost into one of the walls at Oracle. He tossed the unsuspecting receptacle and it left quite a hole. Funny, Dirk or the Mavs never saw a bill.

“Stuff happens,” he said. “I never heard anything from them, so I guess they let me off the hook. They might now have seen who it was.”

Maybe he shouldn’t have said that.
