DALLAS (AP) -- Luka Doncic hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds remaining -- the Dallas sensation's second go-ahead 3 in the final minute -- and the Mavericks avoided a fourth-quarter collapse with a victory over Boston.
The Celtics trailed by 11 points with three minutes to go before Jaylen Brown put them in front in the final minute with a short jumper. Doncic answered with a 3 before Brown pulled Boston even at 107-all with another bucket. Boston's desperation inbound pass hit the rim.
Doncic scored 31 points, while Brown had 29 and Jayson Tatum added 28 in an All-Star matchup for the trio after Brown and Tatum were named Eastern Conference reserves earlier in the day. Doncic is a West starter for the second straight season.
The Mavericks won for the seventh time in nine games to get back to .500 for the first time in almost a month.
