Dirk Nowitzki Drills Pair of Clutch 3-Pointers Late in 4th Quarter vs. Blazers

Even at 38 years old, Dirk Nowitzki is deadly when it matters most.

The Dallas Mavericks star 7-footer came up clutch down the stretch of Tuesday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. In the final minute, Nowitzki splashed two threes, each of which gave Dallas a one-point lead.

His second shot, which found the net with 3.9 seconds left, gave the Mavericks a 113-112 lead. It was nearly a game-winner; Dirk even threw up his patented "three fingers" celebration.

But those heroics were all for naught, as Blazers guard C.J. McCollum floated in the deciding bucket with 0.3 seconds left.

Portland won 114-113.
