83–80 win over the Denver Nuggets. In that same game, Diop also recorded a career high 6 blocks—including a denial of Carmelo Anthony's potentially game-winning field goal attempt. On January 14, 2006, he became a full-time starter for the Mavericks for the rest of the regular season and into the playoffs, assisting in the Mavericks qualifying for the 2006 NBA Finals as representatives of the Western Conference.
