Kyrie Irving hit a buzzer-beater to secure a 107-105 victory for the Dallas Mavericks over the Denver Nuggets.

Mavericks star Luka Doncic hit a three-pointer with 25 seconds left to tie the game before Irving floated in a left-handed shot from 6 metres to seal the win.

The defeat means the Nuggets fall to second in the Western Conference, behind leaders the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Doncic hit a game-high 37 points, while Irving added 24 to help the Mavericks end the Nuggets' five-game winning streak.

Denver's Jamal Murray scored 12 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter to spark his side's comeback, but it proved in vain.

The Mavericks are 7th in the Western Conference, with the top-six sides in each conference guaranteed a playoff spot and teams in seventh to 10th entering the play-in tournament.
