Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki isn't making excuses for his teams poor play of late, he says that while his back and his game isn't 100 percent, he feels like that the teams upcoming three day break is coming at the right time.

Nowitzki and the Mavericks are coming off a tough look at home to the Golden State Warriors, while handing the Mavericks their 6th home loss in 13 game at the American Airlines Center. The loss also ended the Mavericks 12 game home winning streak against the Warriors.
