Mavs outlast Nuggets in 2OT marathon

RAYMOND Felton scored the winning basket with 1.5 seconds left in the second overtime as the Dallas Mavericks outlasted Denver 144-143, spoiling a 47-point performance by Nuggets’ Danilo Gallinari.

The 287 combined points makes this the highest-scoring NBA game since 2012, when Oklahoma City and Minnesota combined for 289 points.

Dallas survived blowing a 21-point halftime lead before Felton went on to score five of his 11 points in the second overtime period on Friday night.

The Nuggets’ Kenneth Faried attempted a hook shot over Felton at the buzzer but missed.

Dirk Nowitzki tallied 25 points and nine rebounds for the Mavericks, who are already assured of the No. 7 playoff seed in the Western Conference.

Richard Jefferson scored 24 and Devin Harris finished with 21 points.

Gallinari’s career-high scoring night was the driving force behind the Nuggets’ second-half rally. It was the most points by a Denver player since Carmelo Anthony poured in 50 in 2011.

“Gallo is a special kind of player,” said Denver coach Melvin Hunt.

Elsewhere, it was: Raptors 101, Magic 99; Hawks 104, Hornets 80; Pacers 107, Pistons 103; Celtics 99, Cavaliers 90; Nets 117, Wizards 80; Bucks 99, Knicks 91; Pelicans 90, Suns 75; Thunder 116, Kings 103; Spurs 104, Rockets 103; Grizzlies 89, Jazz 88; and Lakers 106, Timberwolves 98.
