Nash, who racked up 39 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, put Phoenix on top for good with another 3-pointer early in overtime.

From the forum:

"As predicted (yes, you heard it here first), the Dallas Mavericks have been ELIMINATED from the playoffs - 130-126 in overtime.

For those Mavs fans who said the Suns didn't have the depth or the defense to take out their team, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
