DALLAS - Four international players were in uniform at American Airlines Center on Thursday.
For Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, who hails from Germany, that's a good thing. Especially since many view the 7-footer as the NBA's best international player, a title Nowitzki doesn't care for.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban went off on the referees, and coach Don Nelson went off on center Shawn Bradley.
That, combined with some sensational shooting by Sacramento's Peja Stojakovic, highlighted an uneventful night for the Mavericks. Stojakovic started the fireworks early scoring 17 of his game-high 32 points in the first quarter, and the Kings crowned the Mavericks 110-98 before a crowd of 18,384 Thursday night at American Airlines Center.
After the game, Cuban criticized the referees for not calling what he terms a "fair game."

Peja Stojakovic scored 32 points, including 17 in the first quarter when Sacramento went ahead to stay, as the Kings beat host Dallas 110-98 Thursday night to end the Mavericks' four-game winning streak.
After Dallas cut a 20-point deficit to four in the closing minutes, Stojakovic hit three baskets--two with Steve Nash all over him.
The Kings, despite playing without injured All-NBA forward Chris Webber (sprained left ankle), have the second-best record in the NBA at 12-4. Dallas (10-6) is the 10th straight team that Sacramento has held to under 100 points.
Stojakovic's 22-foot jumper with 2:40 left gave the Kings a 95-87 lead. Michael Finley then hit a three-pointer from the corner at the other end, but Stojakovic came right back and shed Nash long enough for a fadeaway in the lane.
