Overtime Flies

On March 14, 2007, the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks played one of the greatest regular-season games of all time. The 2-OT affair in Texas pitted the West’s top teams – and best pals Steve Nash and the Mavs’ Dirk Nowitzki -- in a seesaw slugfest that ended 129-127 in favor of the Suns.
