It's shocking but the Dallas Mavericks have actually won a game.

Here's more from the Associated Press:

Dirk Nowitzki scored seven of his season-high 39
points in overtime and grabbed 15 rebounds, and the Dallas
Mavericks snapped a five-game losing streak with a 124-114 victory
over the New York Knicks on Sunday.

Josh Howard added season highs of 31 points and 14 rebounds. He
had a pair of baskets in the extra session for the Mavericks (3-7),
who were off to their worst start in a decade. They trailed for
almost all of regulation, then tied it with a furious rally and
didn't allow a field goal in overtime.

Nowitzki made a pair of free throws to open overtime. He
followed with a jumper, and after a free throw by Brandon Bass,
Nowitzki buried a 3-pointer, pumping his fists in the air after
giving the Mavericks a 120-112 lead.

Howard followed with his two baskets, part of Dallas' closing
19-2 run. The Knicks didn't have a field goal after Richardson's
basket with 2:28 remaining in regulation that made it 112-105.

Jason Terry scored 16 of his 20 points after halftime for the
Mavs, who avoided their first six-game skid since Feb. 29-March 9,
2000. Zach Randolph had 27 points and 18 rebounds for the Knicks,
who were 0-for-9 in overtime and lost for the first time this
season when scoring 100 points.
