(Los Angeles) - What an incredible opening game of the season!! Dallas looked like they were about to run away with it. And then Kobe just took over. Fade away jumpers with a hand in face did not bother him. Collison had a chance to put Dallas up 5, but missed both free throws. Only down three with 15 seconds left the Lakers brought it up. "I don't think they knew what to do. Antawn had the ball with under ten seconds left and I kept looking for him to pass to Kobe. Never happened, " Mayo shared during post-game news conference. Jamison pulled up and buried his first three of the game as time expired sending the game into overtime and the Staples Center into a frenzy.

Overtime is when OJ Mayo shined. He took over and willed the Mavericks to a huge win. It did help that Kobe couldn't hit the broadside of a barn during the overtime period.
