The Mavericks won’t make the playoffs, but last night’s victory over the equally terrible Hornets did hold some significance. The win put the Mavs at 40-40 for the season and allowed Dirk Nowitzki and his teammates to finally shave their beards for the first time in months. As you might recall, earlier this season a few Dallas players agreed to not shave until they became a .500 team. Dirk didn’t waste time on his promise either.
