The atmosphere in the American Airlines Center was electric as the Celtics, the defending Eastern Conference champions, took on the Mavericks in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The Mavericks were down 0-2 in the series and desperately needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Heart-stopping moment
The game was a nail-biter from the start. The Celtics built an early lead, but the Mavericks fought back to tie the game at the end of the third quarter. With 30 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks found themselves down by 3 points.
A miraculous comeback

The Celtics had a chance to win the game at the buzzer, but Jayson Tatum's shot bounced off the rim. The Mavericks had pulled off a dramatic 95-94 victory, giving them their first win of the series.
'A character-building moment'
After the game, Doncic said that it was a "character-building moment" for the Mavericks. "We showed a lot of heart and determination tonight," he said. "We never gave up, and we're not going to give up now."
All eyes on Game 4
