Heart-Stopping Season Opener
The Mavericks pulled victory from almost certain defeat in Phoenix on Tuesday night, overcoming a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter and a two-point hole in the first overtime period before beating the Suns 111-108 in double-overtime. Sparked by Dirk Nowitzki's three straight 3-pointers that fueled a 21-3 fourth-quarter run, Dallas forced the extra period, where Jason Terry hit a layup at the buzzer to force a second overtime. The Mavs would close it out from there. Dallas will try to keep their momentum going when they take on the Jazz in Utah on Wednesday night.
