Doncic returned with 7:18 left in the game, and Dallas up by ten. He hit a beautiful mid-range jumper in the fourth.

The Spurs were not done, though. They continued to whittle down the advantage as the Mavs went cold in clutch time. They cut it to one as Dallas had not scored in the final four minutes before Doncic made a clutch one-legged fadeaway to spark the victory.
