Guard Jason Terry is no longer the guy who replaced Steve Nash in Dallas.

Terry made a crucial basket with 23 seconds left in regulation, opened overtime with a go-ahead layup, then protected the lead with a pair of rainbow jumpers. That pushed the Mavericks past the San Antonio Spurs 123-118 Monday night to take a commanding 3-1 lead in their second-round series.

"Our will and our desire to never give up came through," Terry said.
