Blame this one on the eclipse.
From the very start, there was a lot of weird stuff going on at American Airlines Center on Sunday afternoon.
First, the Mavericks had a total blackout in the first half, about 24 hours before the official total solar eclipse will happen.
What seemed like light years later, Dante Exum hit a three-pointer at the regulation buzzer to force overtime. In between, there was all sorts of oddities and rarely seen events, but ended with sunny days for the Mavericks as they scratched out a 147-136 victory over the Rockets.
