It's official: Mavs are the "clutchiest"

Happy Christmahanakwanzikah, everyone! It's been a fun break, but as the NFL regular season draws to a close, it's time to take NBA ball even more seriously. And what's more serious than crunch-time in a great game? We all know the dread, stress, fear, and excitement that goes into watching a close contest involving your favorite team entering the final two minutes and/or overtime (if you're really lucky/unlucky).

If you could build a team of crunch-time scorers from scratch, who would you want? Kobe? Duncan? Garnett?

Well, how about Dirk? Or Devin Harris? Or Jason Terry?

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, those three players lead the league in "clutch" scoring, meaning points in the last two minutes and overtime. Dirk's racked up 139 clutch points, followed by sparkplugs Harris (115) and Terry (102). Yep, the top three clutch scorers in the league all wear a Dallas uni.

Vince Carter and Tim Duncan round out the top 5, but who wants Duncan when you can have Terry? Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but it's comforting for Mavs fans to know they have 3 guys they can count on when it matters.
