On its face, it was just another early-season Western Conference matchup between the Mavericks and Nuggets.
And in a lot of ways, it was just that. The Nuggets beat the Mavericks, 98–97, in a compelling Sunday night tilt that came down to the final shot—a Luka Donu010diu0107 miss to end the game.
But the storyline coming out of Sunday night’s tilt was a wild sequence at the end of the first half that fans may not see again for quite some time.
With time waning in the second quarter, Donu010diu0107 hit an apparent three-pointer at the buzzer.
