On the day when FAU and the University of Miami played in their respective Final Four games, the Heat vs. Mavericks matchup wasn't exactly the center of the basketball world in South Florida.
Much to the chagrin of Dallas' fans, the Heat still showed up and showed out as they beat the Mavericks 129-122 at Miami-Dade Arena, wasting a brilliant 42-point, 10-rebound, eight assist performance from Luka Donu010diu0107.
The Heat led by double-digits for most of the night, but Donu010diu0107 was able to nearly pull out the comeback for the Mavericks single-handedly.
Dallas has now lost six of its last seven games and have fallen even further behind in the Western Conference standings and are now a full game back of the play-in tournament slots.
