Doncic came out strong in the third. He had three steals and was creating offense all over the floor. He had 21 points, five rebounds, eight assists, four steals, and one block through 36 minutes in Denver. The Mavs trailed by two points heading into the fourth, though.

They were still behind by two when Doncic returned to the floor with 8:06 left in the game. Number 77 had eight points and five assists in the final period including dishing to Maxi Kleber for the go-ahead 3-pointer with just two seconds remaining.

Nikola Jokic answered on the other end to send the contest to overtime.

Doncic went off in the extra session. He had the first five points and nailed some clutch free throws late to lift the Mavericks to the road victory. The Mavericks superstar finished with 38 points, nine rebounds, 13 assists, four steals, and one block in 43 minutes of action on Thursday night. It was the second straight incredible game from Luka Doncic.

The Dallas Mavericks return home to host the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Expect another monster night from Doncic as the Mavs look to make it three straight wins. Stay tuned.
