The fans of the two-time defending champions expressed their appreciation for the legendary German power forward/center, who will probably retire at the end of the current season.
Nowitzki received a standing ovation before the beginning of the second quarter
as well as a final one when he checked out for the final time with 4:41 remaining.
The Warriors never managed to cool off Nowitzki, who scored a season-high 21 points to help the Mavs dominate Golden State (91-126).
