Brooklyn led 65-44 with about five seconds remaining in the first half with Doncic caught the ball on the left flank. He scorched down the court and stopped a few steps before half court for a two-handed heave. The long-distance toss hit the backboard before going through the net.

Dwight Powell led the Mavericks with 20 points and six assists in the loss. DeMarre Carroll scored a game-high 22 points for the Nets.

The Mavericks face the Washington Wizards at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
