Nowitzki's Meds: Chicken Soup, Night-Time Jumpers

DALLAS (AP)  Dirk Nowitzki went home from his latest dramatic performance of the NBA finals, took a shower then slurped some chicken soup and hot tea. After a good night's rest, he returned to work Wednesday still dealing with a slight temperature and the sniffles, so he took it easy.

For a few hours.

Nowitzki said he was planning to be back in the gym later Wednesday to put up some shots and break a sweat.

With at most three games left this postseason, Nowitzki figures he will soon have plenty of time to deal with a sinus infection and everything else that ails him. So he's putting whatever energy he has left into getting the two wins he and the Dallas Mavericks need to become NBA champions for the first time.
