Postgame wrap: Mavericks 127, Pelicans 123 (OT)

DALLAS – Dallas and New Orleans almost certainly will not meet each other again in the postseason this spring. On Wednesday, they played a game worthy of the playoffs.

After a second half in which neither team ever established control, Dallas made a few more plays in the final two minutes of overtime, finishing off a 4-0 sweep of the season series over New Orleans. This was by far the most competitive of the four matchups.

IT WAS OVER WHEN…

Jrue Holiday’s desperate deep three-pointer from the left wing misfired, leading to the ball bouncing around for a few seconds before Luka Doncic came away with it and dribbled out the final few seconds.
