Dallas nearly ended up on the wrong side of history, but came away with a key road win
The Dallas Mavericks picked up their fourth-straight win in a 123-120 thriller against the Denver Nuggets. Dallas led by 20 at halftime and eventually as much as 24 early in the third quarter before Denver stormed back to take a lead in the 4th quarter. Dallas got some big points from PJ Washington late to push them ahead, and they'd survive with a win to push them to 2-1 in NBA Cup play and in prime position to pick up the Wild Card in the Western Conference.
This is Dallas' second win over a Western Conference contender this week without Luka Doncic in the lineup, as he missed Sunday's game against the OKC Thunder, too, and just like that game, the ending against the Nuggets was way more stressful than it needed to be.Dallas has survived two games without Luka Doncic against two top contenders, but they need to be a little better about holding onto big leads.
