Dirk Nowitzki Tries to Get to Referees During Video Review, Can’t Get Around Security Guard (Video)

As both of the announcers in the video below point out, it’s probably the best defense anyone from Sacramento has played all year.

During Thursday’s 117-112 overtime win by the Dallas Mavericks over the Sacramento Kings, late in the fourth quarter the officials gathered up for a very common video review. Now, who knew that the NBA had a security guard stand in front of the refs while they convened, but apparently Dirk Nowitzki becomes the first player to test that policy.

Nowitzki made his best effort to get to the refs, but couldn’t penetrate Sleep Train Arena’s security-guard defense. Check it out in the video below.
