Despite a damaged ankle, Luka Dončić scored a triple-double and the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 135-133 in overtime on Sunday, tying the playoff series at two games apiece.
Dončić recorded his second consecutive triple-double with 43 points, 17 rebounds, and 13 assists.
The Clippers took the lead with 9 seconds left in OT when Marcus Morris made a three-pointer. It paved the way for Dončić's victory over Reggie Jackson.
The Mavericks overcame a 21-point second-quarter deficit for their largest postseason comeback. After a 16-0 third quarter, they led by 12 points in the fourth before the Clippers rallied.
Lou Williams sank two of three free throws with 50.6 seconds left to knot it at 121. Dallas failed to score on the next possession, so the Clippers called a timeout with 24.7 seconds left.
Kawhi Leonard's three-pointer with 0.2 seconds left missed. The Mavericks missed a lob to Boban Marjanovic to force overtime.
The 21-year-old Dončić was a game-time decision due to a left ankle injury from the previous game.
