[Highlight] Mavericks comeback down 9 with 34 seconds left vs Knicks. NBA teams were 0-13,884 in the last 20 seasons when trailing by at least nine with 35 or fewer seconds remaining in regulation.
60/20/10 + game-tying shot btw
and they traded that
DON’T REMIND ME
23 years old at the time lol
didnt have the heart of a champion despite getting them to the finals while injured
Traded who? Oh, you mean mr. TripleMcDouble? scoffs
Luka had to carry. look at his teammates. CWood, Dinwiddie, Timmy, Powell
Absolutely insane game and stats. I had to Google it again.
thibs uses this as exhibit A for playing starters in garbage time.
Exhibit A is 13 points in 33 seconds. This is B, though.
His lil celebration dance 🥹 he’s so cute godddd fuck Nico
How did he make that shot!?
I’ve seen that attempted many times but it never works. He actually did that
Just Luka things.
And he did it twice lol
This is something that someone that doesn’t play basketball will ever understand. It looks so effortless, but it’s so hard to make.
I played basketball all my life and I would MAYBE make those two exact shots in a row in 500 tries. The second one is especially difficult.
Luka is making at least 1 of the shots with a similar difficulty every night while being guarded by the biggest, the most athletic freaks.
13,884 is a big number, but it’s also meaningless. Nearly all of those leads were larger than 9 points – many of them much larger.
Looking at leads between 8-10 points would be more interesting.
Good point.
I mean even if we say there are games with leads between 9 pts up and 50 pts up, that would still be the first time in 330+ games
And im guessing theres more games in the lower end of that, so its probably, a decent bit more than 330, so still pretty impressive.
After seeing how bad our guards failed to rebound in the clutch, I’m convinced this was the game that made the Knicks get Josh Hart
I remember this… but I do not want to remember this
I’ll never be over it.
The Knicks are like the Democrats. They can be winning in every conceivable way and lose.
There was a great quote maybe a decade back that still sticks with me. “The Knicks don’t simply lose. They explore the concept of losing”.
Forgot about this. Thank you for that. Perfectly epitomizes the 20 years of suffering
This was just a warmup for the Pacers series
The fun part about the comeback was it wasn’t even Luka initially making all the big shots in those final seconds to get them there.
Dude playing with certain superstars must suck. Because those Mavs teams were actually very well constructed. Top 5 defense with good 3 point shooters. Basically the perfect team you could build for a heliocentric guy like Luka.
Buddy we had Christian Wood, Spencer Dinwiddie, Dwight Powell, and Tim Hardaway Jr out on the floor in crunch time. We had good teams, this was not one of them.
That was 2023 Dallas, even pre-Irving. That team failed to reach the PO (although bad injury luck played a big part in it).
Fire Nico
This is also the game where Luka gave us that iconic line to Skin Wade post game
“I need a Recovery Beer!”
I miss Luka’s unintentional humor
Fuck nico
tmac did down by 8 singlehandedly so yeah
PTSD triggering from T-Mac. Also.. couldn’t Matt Barnes of hit Derek Fisher once for us.
I started to turn this game off in that last minute but my wife pushed me to keep watching “to be a real fan” despite my protests that the game was over.
I was VERY glad she did that lol
“stranger things HAVE HAPPENED” is all time call by Followill
Downvoted out of principle.
AD isnt doing this
TBF, No one had ever had a 60/20/10 game before Luka.
But AD2D fits racist Nico Harrison’s idea of ”culture” and looks great in Street Clothes.
Thanks for reminding me…
yeah you think you have it rough
Knicks always finding a way to lose with less than a minute left
Luka dances so happy
This is what I watch when I feel hopeless and need a smile and pick me up.
Works every time.
I think the intentionally missed free throw + the buzzer beater to tie is the most underrated clutch play in a really long time
Tyrese Haliburton somehow made this 1⁄34,884 event just another night.
Hali’s run was unlike anything seen in the History of the NBA. I doubt anything like it ever happens again.
noooooooo
This pain is still too fresh.
Come back.
I looked and the TMac game was down by only 8 points with 34 seconds left.
… also it was more than 20 years ago.
Nico you’re fucking stupid!
What kind of fucking cherry picking bullshit is this. This is Tracy McGrady erasure
Tmac was down 8, not 13. Main difference is that while Knicks chocked and freezed, the Spurs actually kept scoring but not as much as Tmac. Both all time great game endings.
he looks so happy:(
I guess I am crying today.
Wild how the Knicks chose not to foul at the end of OT just to give themselves a chance like they didn’t just see the Mavs make a comeback
This #77 guy looks kinda good
Good thing that Nico traded the guy who had a 60 point triple double for ADnp’s lukewarm corpse. Great job you worthless piece of shit.
who’s #77 on the mavs? he’s really good!
Oh so OP woke up today and chose violence to break my heart
Dumbest cherry picked “stat” ever.
