The Dallas Mavericks beat the Houston Rockets after overtime with a score of 147:136. The match at the “American Airlines Center” in Texas was resolved in a dramatic ending, in which the Houston players had everything in their hands, but they squandered the victory “thanks” to Australian Star Dante Exum. The Dallas playmaker scored a three-pointer for overtime with the sound of the siren, in an almost hopeless situation for the Mavs, when the Rockets had already managed to survive Kyrie Irving’s spectacular game and Luka Doncic’s near-triple-double.
Doncic tried to make fun of referee decision, but the referee and Brooks have answers.
During the entire match, the guests led, on several occasions during the second quarter with +22, but Dallas managed to reduce it to a five-point difference by halftime (66:71). In the third quarter, the difference was somewhere between three and eight points, and in the middle of the last period, Dallas managed to equalize at 115:115. Then we enter the dramatic finale, in which the teams changed their lead seven times.
