Luka Doncic drained a three-pointer with one-tenth of a second remaining to secure a 110-107 win for the Dallas Mavericks over the Boston Celtics.

The Slovenian had given the Mavericks a 107-105 lead with a three-pointer seconds earlier but his game-winning effort sparked wild celebrations.

His 31 points helped the Mavs to a sixth win in seven matches.

"He's just a very unique player, a very unique person," Mavericks' coach Rick Carlisle said of Doncic.

"The wiring of people like Luka Doncic, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, guys that have this laser-like focus in these situations. It's difficult to explain how their minds and their brains work," BBC reported. 

Elsewhere, James Harden shone as the Brooklyn Nets beat Sacramento Kings 127-118 for a seventh win in a row.
