Nowitzki misses start, scores 21: Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki did not start after he was late for the team's shootaround before Friday's game against Minnesota. The nine-time All-Star finished with 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds in a 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves. Nowitzki was nursing a thumb injury prior to the game, but it did not seem to effect him much. In 37 minutes of play, Nowitzki shot 6 of 15 from the field and added three assists and steals. Josh Howard started in Nowitzki's place. Nowitzki said after the game that all players need to be held accountable. "I was almost 30 minutes late," Nowitzki said. "That was a distraction and it's my fault."
