Great night for North Texas sports!

What an unbelievable night for the Dallas-area sports franchises.

First, the Dallas Mavericks got back into the first-round playoff series against the Hornets with a 97-87 win.  The Mavs were flying high over the Hornets.

Then the Rangers, who had trailed the Twins 5-0, rallied to tie the game at 5-5.  Texas went on to win in the bottom of the 10th inning and proceeded to celebrate as if they'd clinched a playoff berth.  Either way, it was great to see the Rangers snap their 7-game skid.

Finally, the Stars were in San Jose kicking off their second-round playoff series (their first in five years).  After the Sharks drew even at 2-2 with only minutes left in the third period, Dallas' captain Brenden Morrow scored an overtime goal for the 3-2 OT win!

What a nice night in Dallas sports.  To make the weekend even better, the Cowboys have two 1st round draft picks tomorrow. (And a reported trade tonight gave the 'Boys an additional fourth round pick.)

Amazing night! ... I need sleep.
