With that intrepid and precise movement, Doncic managed to nail the dagger to the New York team who wanted nothing to define the duel in overtime. In the 5 minutes into extra time, the locals played their part and beat the visit by an aggregate of 11-6, finally winning 126-121. It should be noted that in the last 20 years, 13,884 games have gone by without a team managing to overturn a 9-point deficit in the last 35 seconds of the game. Tremendous!

A historic evening for the 23-year-old, who has been playing and breaking NBA records for four years now. He had a great game at the American Airlines Center, which saw him set the first triple-double in league history with a 60/20, 60 points (personal best), 20 rebounds and 10 assists.

Another player who had a great game on the winning team was Spencer Dinwiddie, with 25 points and 6 rebounds. In NYC, Quentin Grimes contributed his with 33 points and Julius Randle signed good slates with 29 points and 18 rebounds.

Thus Dallas, who inaugurated the statue of his idol Dirk Nowitzki, he remains with a 19-16 record and chains his fourth straight win. He thus manages to position himself in the sixth position of the Western Conference, which would classify them directly to the playoffs at the end of the season.

For their part, the Knicks are head over heels with a four-game losing streak and continue to struggle in the clutch, having lost two of those four games they led in the closing seconds of the game, against Chicago and now Dallas. The New Yorkers finished sixth in the Eastern Conference, with an 18-17 record.
