"It was milestone night at American Airlines Center on Monday night. And Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd did a nifty job of assuming their places in history.

Nowitzki tallied 26 points and moved past Robert Parish and into the No. 20 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list as the Dallas Mavericks rolled over the Boston Celtics 89-73 before a sellout crowd of 20,364.

With a blocked shot in the first quarter, Nowitzki also joined Cliff Robinson and Rasheed Wallace as the only players in NBA history with at least 1,000 career blocks and 1,000 career 3-pointers.

Kidd, meanwhile, picked up three steals to move past Michael Jordan and into the No. 2 spot on the league's all-time steals list behind John Stockton."
