    I heard Bill say that was the first triple overtime game but I thought the game against
    Dallas in 1995 went into 4 overtimes. If you have info please post.

    It must be...Gene Peterson also noted that.

    I can't remember the last one....

    Major win for a young team. And tonight, it truly was a young team.

    i could swear i thought they had a triple ot with dallas a few years back (back when jason kidd was still on the mavs)
    maybe it was just double ot?
    or maybe ive just lost my mind?

    I thought it was too. Because the score was like 126 to 140. Jeff can you check this out?

    I remember the game you guys are talking about. No it wasn't triple-overtime (tonight's game was the first triple OT)....

    It was double-overtime and the Mavs won in Houston 156-147. I know Kidd had an insane triple-double -- 38 points, 11 boards, 10 assists and 8 three-pointers. Jamal Mashburn had over 40 if I remember right.

    The amazing thing is the Rockets had -- get this -- a 10 or 11-point lead in that game in the first overtime and the Mavs forced double OT.

    Drexler had a triple-double, Popeye Jones had over 20 boards.... it was an insane game and it was just before the playoffs.
