If the Dallas Mavericks were intending on tanking games for better lottery odds, the memo never got to the players.
Although Luka Doncic was unavailable again Sunday because of a right thigh bruise, the rest of the available players on the roster put together a furious comeback in the second half and held on to beat the Memphis Grizzies in a back and forth, 129-127, win in overtime.
No one came up bigger than Salah Mejri, whose put-back with 1.5 seconds left in regulation after four consecutive missed shots on the same possession, tied the game and sent it to overtime.
