The Denver Nuggets secured a thrilling comeback victory against the Dallas Mavericks, winning 112-101. The Nuggets, led by Russell Westbrook's 21 points and Nikola Jokic's near triple-double of 19 points, 18 rebounds, and 9 assists, rallied from a 19-point deficit late in the third quarter. Their fourth-quarter surge was remarkable as they outscored the Mavericks 33-12, taking advantage of Dallas's inability to score from beyond the arc.

Klay Thompson's 25 points were not enough for the Mavericks, who struggled without their star guards Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Despite a solid performance from Aaron Gordon, the Mavericks' offense faltered, particularly in the fourth quarter.
