The Mavs’ superstar backcourt came through in the clutch, as Luka Doncic set up Irving’s winner with a game-tying three.
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving reacts with teammates P.J. Washington and Tim Hardaway Jr. after Irving scored the game-winning shot ending the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Denver Nuggets in Dallas, Sunday, March 17, 2024.stormed off of the American Airlines Center court with a walk-off, primetime Sunday win with Dirk Nowitzki and Patrick Mahomes seated courtside — might’ve spoken it all into existence.
“He’s sharing the backcourt with an amazing player in Kyrie Irving,” Denver Nuggets coach Malone said of Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic. “I think, alright, this is not just about Luka, this is about the Mavs and using every piece around him.”Exhibit A: Doncic, with 25 seconds left in regulation, drilled a game-tying, 29-foot 3-pointer to match one that Denver’s Jamal Murray hit just three seconds prior.
Doncic’s 3-pointer set the Mavericks up for a win. Irving’s circus shot delivered it. But the Mavericks — who lost to the Nuggets 125-114 the last time the two teams played in November — were positioned to beat the West’s best of their bully-ball abilities in the leadup to Doncic and Irving’s heroics.The Mavericks — thanks to a 9-0 third-quarter run — turned a halftime deficit into a five-point lead after three quarters, but opened the final quarter on a 14-6 run.
The Mavericks held Jokic to eight first-half points on 2 for 10 shooting with a number of Dallas defenders rotated onto him, though Michael Porter Jr. , Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray picked up the scoring slack in the first two quarters. Jokic finished with 16 points on 6 for 16 shooting. Dallas shot just 4 for 17 from 3-point range in the first half but trailed Denver by just 61-59 at halftime after 11 first-half lead changes. The midpoint difference was decided by whistles; the Mavericks were called for 14 first-half fouls and the Nuggets made 15 of 18 free throws, while the Mavericks went to the line just 10 times and made eight attempts.Watch: Dallas Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving hits one-handed buzzer beater to beat Denver Nuggets, SportsDay HS reporter.
