If anyone tried to find Nerlens Noel in the Mavericks' locker room during halftime of Sunday's (AEDT) 108-82 win over the Clippers, they would have been left wanting.

Noel, who for the fourth straight game did not see the court Saturday, helped himself to a hot dog out of the media center during the halftime break.
"I heard the hot dogs were very good," coach Rick Carlisle said, via sportsday.dallasnews.com. "Hey, I may have had one, too. But I may have sent a ball boy."
The Mavs improved to 6-17 with the win, but Noel has scored just 14 points since the beginning of November.
"I'm doing everything I need to, staying in shape, continuing to work on my game and working on the little things," Noel said. "It's frustrating at times. But I think I got laser focus right now for what I want to do and where I want to be. I'm anxious to play. When that comes, it comes."
