It marked the first 60/20/10 performance in NBA history. New
York sent Doncic to the free-throw line with a take foul,
leading 115-112 with 4.2 seconds remaining. Doncic sunk the
first shot, then -- after intentionally missing the second --
chased down the carom tipped backwards from a scrum and hoisted
up a shot just before the buzzer to knot the score at 115.
In overtime, Dallas did not yield a field goal for more than
four minutes, building a five-point lead in the process. Doncic
and Spencer Dinwiddie put the game away with foul shooting down
the stretch.
