Dallas shot a perfect 7-for-7 from the field in overtime, becoming just the second team in the play-by-play era (since 1997–98) to go perfect on seven field-goal attempts in an OT period. The only other instance came from the Milwaukee Bucks on Oct. 30, 2001, in a win over Utah. No team has ever gone 100% on more field-goal attempts in an overtime frame.
