Kyrie Irving’s sensational left-handed floater at the buzzer secured a thrilling 107-105 win for the Mavericks against the Denver Nuggets.

Luka Doncic’s outstanding 37-point performance and Irving’s 24-point contribution propelled Dallas to their fifth victory in six games. With this crucial win, the Mavericks tied with Phoenix for the sixth playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Rookie Dereck Lively II expressed unwavering trust in Irving’s ability to deliver in clutch moments.

Despite a late surge from the Nuggets, including Jamal Murray’s tiebreaking 3-pointer, Doncic quickly responded with a deep shot to level the score. Irving’s ambidextrous skills were on full display as he dribbled with his left hand and sank the game-winning shot under pressure.

Mavericks coach Jason Kidd opted not to join the celebratory pile, savoring the victory from a distance. Nuggets coach Michael Malone acknowledged Irving’s remarkable shot while lamenting his team’s rebounding deficiency.

Dallas’s dominance on the boards, particularly in offensive rebounds, proved crucial in securing the hard-fought victory.
