The Mavs win a close one at the buzzer versus the Raptors. Former Mississippi State star Erick Dampier grabbed 11 rebounds and had a crucial blocked shot at the end of the game that gave the Mavs a chance to tie the game up.

Another key play came with 40.9 seconds left when Erick Dampier blocked James on a drive.

“It was a late switch,” said Dampier, who had seven of his 11 rebounds on the offensive boards. “If you study his game, you know he wants to drive left and jump into you with the pump fake. I let him get in the air first, and that was my chance to block the shot.”
