Dirk Nowitzki's ascension up the NBA's all-time postseason scoring list continued Saturday night when the Dallas Mavericks hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4 of their best-of-seven series.
Just days after leaping Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, Nowitzki's 12th point of Saturday's contest moved him past another basketball legend in former 11-time All-Star Elgin Baylor for 15th place.
