Apr 18, 2021 DALLAS - The Dallas Mavericks host the floundering Sacramento Kings in a Sunday evening game at American Airlines Center. After losing four of their last six, the Mavericks look to heat back up in NBA playoffs positioning crunch time with 17 regular season games left. The seventh-place Mavericks need wins to pass the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers are in sixth-place with a two-game lead on Dallas. Portland also owns the tiebreaker over the Mavericks, so Dallas would have to beat the Blazers by three games to avoid the NBA playoffs play-in tournament. The Kings are coming into this matchup on a nine-game losing streak. Sacramento is not in playoff contention, behind the Western Conference 10th spot by a large margin. ....

The H-O-R-S-E winner belongs alongside Vince Carter’s corner 3-pointer against the Spurs, Jason Terry’s triple in LeBron’s mug in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Dirk Nowitzki’s lefty layup in the 2011 clincher and, yes, Luka’s own 35-footer to beat the Clippers in the playoff bubble.
At some point, we have to stop being surprised by Luka Legend. Doncic is now 10 of 25 on potential tying or go-ahead shots in the final 30 seconds of a game.
