Kyrie magic lift his team to the victory against Denver.

Kyrie Irving hit a running left-handed shot at the buzzer, ending a chaotic final 26 seconds and leading the Dallas Mavericks a 107-105 win against the Denver Nuggets at American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX.

Denver comeback from 13 points down midway through the 4th quarter and even took the lead on Jamal Murray’s tiebreaking 3-poInter with only 26 seconds until the end of the game.

Luka Doncic answered swiftly after a timeout and evened the result 105-105.

After Jamal missed an elbow jumper in the final seconds, Mavericks took a timeout with fewer than 3 seconds until the end. The right-handed Kyrie received the inbounds pass, dribbled with his left hand as Nikola Jokic guard him and had to throw up the shot from 21 feet score buzzer beater.

Denver had a 5-match away from home winning streak ended. Nuggets had triumphed in 5 games by double digits, a 1st in organization history. They are the only franchise in this campaign with 2 road streaks of at least 5 wins.

Luka Doncic notched 37 points for the victory as Irving finished with 24, and Dallas triumphed for the 5th time in 6 matches.

Denver will play against the Timberwolves in Minnesota on Tuesday, while Dallas will face the Spurs in San Antonio on the same day.
