In what may be the final game of the season for his Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki found himself moving up the NBA's all-time playoff scoring list once again.

Having already leaped Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor this postseason, the 37-year-old sharpshooting big man's fourth point of Game 5 on Monday evening against the Oklahoma City Thunder was enough to take 14th place on the list from legendary Chicago Bulls forward Scottie Pippen.
