    Jan. 7, 2006
    Dirk Nowitzki coming up clutch has become a redundancy for the Mavericks. A night after winning the Crunch honor against Denver in OT, Dirk was back at it on Saturday against the Timberwolves.

    After stellar performances late in regulation and during the first three overtime periods Tuesday, it was no surprise the Nuggets looked to Earl Boykins and Carmelo Anthony to finish off the Suns.

Boykins, who finished with a career-high 33 points and added eight assists, also tallied 18 Nestlé Crunch Time points.

    Everyone has an off night now and then. Even Kobe Bryant. But like any superstar, he can get hot at a moment's notice. The Lakers guard, playing the second half with a sprained right wrist, turned a 6-for-18 shooting effort into a 9-for-21 night by hitting his final three jumpers, giving L.A. a 99-98 win over Cleveland. Bryant broke ties at 93, 95 and 97 in the final 1:30, the last coming with just 8.6 seconds to go. Bryant picked up 10 Nestlé Crunch Time points.
