The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 118-115, in overtime Tuesday in the finale of the NBA Season Restart Scrimmage at Orlando.
Tied 113-113 in overtime, J.J. Barea hit a 3-pointer with 1:07 to play to give the Mavericks a lead they would not relinquish. Barea had put the Mavericks ahead, 103-101, with a 3-pointer with 1:10 remaining in regulation, but Mike Scott’s put-back tip-in made it 103 all moments later. Barea had a chance to win it, but his last-second 3-pointer missed, forcing overtime.
Luka Doncic led Dallas with 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while Kristaps Porzingis totaled 17 points and 12 boards in 27 minutes. Barea finished with 14 points.
Tobias Harris scored a game-high 28 points with 11 rebounds for the 76ers, while Al Horford had 14 points and five rebounds. Ben Simmons struggled to 2-of-10 shooting from the field for four points, though he had nine rebounds and two assists.
Dallas plays the Houston Rockets on Friday in the opener of the restart schedule, while the 76ers face the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.
