Dirk Nowitzki has been clutch from the free throw line during the Mavericks' past two games and disclosed on Tuesday that singing was the secret of his success.

"You just try to relax," he said. "There are a lot of things going through your mind. I try to sing sometimes to kind of take the pressure off."

Smiling wide and laughing loud, he said the song was David Hasselhoff's "Looking For Freedom."
