Luka Doncic totaled 41 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds for his first triple-double of the season as the visiting Dallas Mavericks dominated most of overtime and held on for a 129-125 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night.
The Mavericks outscored the Nets 17-13 in the extra session, and Doncic snapped a 112-112 tie by hitting a go-ahead 18-footer on the first possession. He then got assists on 3-pointers by Tim Hardaway Jr., Maxi Kleber and Reggie Bullock to extend the Mavericks’ lead to 123-114 with 3:10 remaining.
Doncic, who notched his 47th career regular-season triple-double, made 14 of 28 shots, including a nifty floater with 1:53 left to give Dallas a 125-116 lead before the Mavericks held on. Hardaway added 18 points and Kleber contributed 15 for the Mavericks, who shot 50.6 percent and hit 20 of 40 of their 3-point tries.
