Dallas (AP) - With two late threesomes, Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks to a home win against the Boston Celtics around national player Daniel Theis.
After the decisive throw of the 21-year-old Slovenian to 110: 107 only 0.1 seconds were left to play.
With 31 points, ten rebounds and eight assists, Doncic was the game-determining player on Tuesday evening (local time) and helped the Mavericks to a balanced record of 15 wins and 15 losses.
"We really needed this win," said Doncic.
Maxi Kleber missed the game because of a sprained ankle.
Theis and the Celtics, on the other hand, have to cope with the next setback in a difficult season.
After the victory against the New Orleans Pelicans two days earlier, which was still wasted despite a 24 point lead, it was the 16th defeat.
Just because the New York Knicks lost 106: 114 to the Golden State Warriors, the Celtics are still in the top six of the Eastern Conference, which guarantees a playoff participation.

The Washington Wizards run ended with five wins in a row, although Moritz Wagner scored 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists in around 25 minutes.
The national player could not prevent the 116: 135 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Isaiah Hartenstein recorded a 111-106 home win against the Portland Trail Blazers with the Denver Nuggets.
Nikola Jokic got 41 points for the nuggets.
