Stars? What stars?

Dirk Nowitzki is a puny 5-for-16 from the field in the first half.

And he's still better than LeBron James, who is 3-for-11.

The rest of the Mavericks aren't all that bad, going 13-for-26 from the field. The Cavaliers other than LeBron? They're 15-for-38.

Not sure what all that means other than the stars have pretty much canceled each other out, which isn't saying much at halftime, when the Mavericks lead by a deuce.
