Jimmy Butler, in his third game with the 76ers, drained a three-pointer as time expired in overtime and Philadelphia overcame an NBA season-high 60 points from Kemba Walker to beat the Charlotte Hornets 122-119 on Saturday night.

“As much as I wanted the shot to go in to win the game, I also wanted it to go in because I didn’t want Kemba to give me 70,” Butler said with a laugh. “I wanted it to stop at 60.”

Walker’s 60 points were a career high and topped Klay Thompson’s 52 for Golden State against Chicago on 29 October for most in the league this season. But the two-time All-Star was noticeably upset after the game about the team’s third loss this season to the 76ers, two of which have come in overtime.

“I’m still proud, that’s an unbelievable thing to do right there,” Walker said of his game. “I’m just mad that we lost. I’m a competitor. It would have been even better with a win.”

Philadelphia coach Brett Brown called Walker’s effort “amazing and incredible.”

“We tried double-teaming him, we tried hard-hedging him,” Brown said. “The reality of it is, is that you have Joel [Embiid] and Jimmy in that situation a lot and he is doing that against two all-league defensive players. He is just hard to guard and he is really unique. ... Sixty points in an NBA game against a pretty good defensive team is a remarkable effort.”

Elsewhere, Luka Doncic gave the Dallas Mavericks a glimpse of an exciting future and extended a bad week for the Golden State Warriors. The rookie scored 24 points, including a short jumper that put Dallas in front for good, and the Mavericks beat the Warriors 112-109.

The 19-year-old from Slovenia arrived in the NBA having led Real Madrid to the 2018 Euro League title. On Saturday, he hit a 10-footer in the lane with 1:10 left to put Dallas up 109-108, then sealed the game with two free throws with seven seconds remaining.

“I’ve been doing this when I was in Madrid, too,” Doncic said. “I love the last-minute shot. [But] of course it’s different. It’s the NBA. It’s the best league in the world.”

Golden State played without injured starters Stephen Curry and Draymond Green and lost for the fourth time in six games. The Warriors dropped back-to-back games for the first time this season, and Saturday they led by eight points in the second half before the Mavs rallied.

Kevin Durant missed two shots and Klay Thompson one in the final minute, all of which could have either tied the game or put Golden State ahead. “You don’t set NBA records being frustrated,” Thompson said. “I’m not going to go over here and dwell on missing a couple of shots, missing a game-tying shot this early in the season.”

It was just the second time Dallas have beaten Golden State in their past 19 meetings, the other coming in December 2015, one of only nine games the Warriors lost that regular season.
