Playing free, Anthony Davis dominates as Mavericks top Hawks

DALLAS -- Anthony Davis capped his most complete performance in a Dallas Mavericks uniform with a sequence that displayed his two-way brilliance to close out a 120-118 win Wednesday night over the Atlanta Hawks.

Davis scored the go-ahead basket, driving left for a floater over Atlanta's Onyeka Okongwu with 3.4 seconds left. After the timeout, Davis smothered Hawks star guard Trae Young on a switch, forcing a tightly contested stepback 3 that failed to draw iron at the buzzer.

"To have a closer and a two-way player like Anthony, we all rally around him," Mavs shooting guard Klay Thompson said.
