In a thrilling Sunday afternoon game, Kyrie Irving delivered a game-winning shot for the Dallas Mavericks. Irving led the Dallas Mavericks to a 107-105 victory over the Denver Nuggets with a crazy left-handed floater from the free throw line as the buzzer rang. When Irving’s shot hit the net, the American Airlines Center exploded in celebration.

The stunning bucket came after Mavericks’ star Luka Dončić tied the game with a huge 3-pointer from behind the arc in the middle of the court. The Mavericks kept up with the Nuggets throughout the game, but it wasn’t until the fourth quarter that they took a brief lead. However, the Nuggets mounted a comeback and took the lead with just under 30 seconds remaining, owing in part to an incredible 14-2 run that included eight points from Jamal Murray. However, Dončić’s crucial 3-pointer tied the score. Murray missed a 14-foot shot on the next possession, paving the way for Irving’s heroics and a two-point victory for the Mavericks.

Murray led the Nuggets with 23 points and seven assists, Michael Porter Jr. scored 20 points and seven rebounds, and Nikola Jokic had 16 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists. Despite their current five-game victory streak, the Nuggets are now 47-21.

Dončić led the Mavericks with 37 points, nine rebounds, and three assists, a standout performance. Irving contributed 24 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds. Dereck Lively II, the only other player in double digits, offered important help off the bench with 14 points and eight rebounds.

The Mavericks’ victory cements their recent great form, as they have won five of their previous six games. With a 39-29 record, they are now ranked seventh in the Western Conference, trailing only the Sacramento Kings. The victory over the Nuggets provides a big boost to their playoff hopes as they continue to battle for a good place in the extremely competitive conference.
