The finish of the second quarter of the game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets caused the audience to jump from their seats. You have to feel bad for Dallas Mavericks supporters since the game was filled with a bizarre sequence of events. Luka Doncic was undoubtedly frustrated as the Mavericks lost to the Nuggets by just 1 point. What’s more, is that the second quarter ended in a way that Mavs’ fans won’t want to watch again.

During the last seconds of the second quarter, the Mavericks led by four points. Luka Doncic opted to extend their lead to 7 points and made a three-pointer at the buzzer. However, as the Mavericks were celebrating, the officials overturned the basket because Doncic stepped out of the line. The Denver Nuggets were given a two-second window, and Vlatko Cancar was subbed in.

Then Bruce Brown Jr. passed the ball to Cancar, who made a clean three-pointer from half-court. And the sights were difficult for the audience to grasp, and even the commentators were stunned. Cancar was cheered by the whole Nuggets bench. An incredible six-point swing in just two seconds.

Not only that, but Doncic missed a jump shot in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, costing the Dallas Mavericks the game. And this highlight will possibly linger with Mavs fans for a long time.

Luka Doncic and the Mavs this season

Luka Doncic and Josh Green were the standout performers for the Mavs in the game. During 36 minutes of play, Doncic scored 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. Green, on the other hand, had 23 points and 2 rebounds in 30 minutes. This loss would be a hard pill to swallow for Doncic and the team, as the Mavs currently sit in the 9th position on the Western Conference table. With a record of 9-7, the Mavs managed to keep their percentile above .500. But they must quickly devise a strategy to make a comeback and climb the standings if they wish to secure a playoff spot.

Luka Doncic has been a reliable player for the Mavericks and is one of the league’s leading scorers thus far. Doncic is presently ranked fourth in total points, having scored 480 so far. Notably, he ranks first in points per game, averaging 34.3 points per game.
