VIDEO: Felton gives Mavs win, Gallinari drops 47 in double-OT finish
This is what can happen in the NBA on any given night.
A game not viewed as particularly important for the playoff-bound Dallas Mavericks against the lowly Denver Nuggets results in a double-overtime barnburner that they barely escape with a win.
Raymond Felton's layup high off the glass with 1.5 seconds left in the second overtime gave the Mavs a 144-143 victory.
Danilo Gallinari scored career-high 47 points - including seven treys and get this, zero turnovers - as the Nuggets came back from a 23-point deficit to force free basketball.
Mavs 144, Nuggets 143 (2OT). The 287 combined pts makes this the highest-scoring game since Thunder & T-Wolves combined for 289 on 3/23/12
