Luka Doncic passed up a decent look at a three to drive into the paint and put up an off-balance, leaning one-hander — and it went in. Because he’s Luka Doncic.
That tied the score at 117-117 with 19.4 seconds left — plenty of time for DeMar DeRozan to get to his spot in the midrange and call ballgame.

With that shot the Spurs beat the Mavericks 119-117, behind 33 from DeRozan and 25 from Dejounte Murray. Kristaps Porzingis had 31 for Dallas, Doncic scored 29 and added seven assists.
The ending fit the game — this was not a defensive struggle. Dallas lost the game with a 120 offensive rating.
