San Antonio Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan just spoiled the comeback attempt by Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks by draining the game-winning jumper.

Peep DeRozan's cold-blooded jumper below. With 0.5 seconds left, it proved to be the game-winning shot. DeRozan has always been a master at perimeter shots. It's quite amazing how much damage he's done considering that analysts deem that the art of the perimeter is dead. DeRozan once again proves that it can and will always be a lethal weapon if utilized perfectly.

The momentum initially looked like it belonged to Doncic and the Mavericks. After all, in the prior possession, Doncic tied the game with a calm and collected teardrop layup coming off a smooth Euro step. NBA fans know that Doncic has the clutch gene in him. So it was almost certain that he'll deliver during the tensest moments of a tight game against the Spurs.

However, the Spurs, too know about Doncic's antics. After the Slovenian tied the game, Gregg Popovich and the crew set up a play for the last shot. They don't want Doncic to have another crack at the basket. Fortunately, things panned out for the Spurs. DeRozan dribbled the time out, sized up his defender, and hit the dagger.
