This is what can happen in the NBA on any given night. 

A game not viewed as particularly important for the playoff-bound Dallas Mavericks against the lowly Denver Nuggets results in a double-overtime barnburner that they barely escape with a win.

Raymond Felton's layup high off the glass with 1.5 seconds left in the second overtime gave the Mavs a 144-143 victory.

Danilo Gallinari scored career-high 47 points - including seven treys and get this, zero turnovers - as the Nuggets came back from a 23-point deficit to force free basketball.
