Talking about the herculean performance by the Mavericks against a Hercules-type player in San Antonio's Tim Duncan. They'll be talking about how the Mavericks stood toe-to-toe with one of the NBA's powers-that-be and still somehow found a way to escape with a 126-123 victory Wednesday in overtime.

They'll be talking about the 3-pointer by Steve Nash with six-tenths of a seconds remaining in overtime, the basket that sent the Mavericks (19-9) dancing merrily to their seventh consecutive victory. They'll also be talking about the 3-pointer by backup point guard Tim Hardaway that tied the game at 123-all with 29.4 seconds remaining.
