The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 129-125, at American Airlines Center on Monday.

The chances of the Pelicans putting an end to their six-game losing streak were looking bleak late Monday night when the team was down four points with just over 10 seconds remaining. However, with an Elfrid Payton three followed by a Kenrich Williams steal and a dunk from Julius Randle, the team was up one point with five seconds left. Williams, however, fouled rookie Luka Doncic on the next possession, which resulted in one free throw and overtime. From there, however, were able to build their lead to seven in the extra period and lock up the victory.

Julius Randle was once again dominant for New Orleans, scoring a game-high 30 points to go along with nine rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes. Meanwhile, thanks to the overtime period, Elfrid Payton was able to notch his fifth consecutive triple-double, posting 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. Frank Jackson had an impressive outing, matching Payton's 19 points, while Anthony Davis played just 21 minutes but still managed to score 20 points.

As for the Mavericks, Doncic led the way with a massive triple-double of his own, recording 29 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in 39 minutes. He didn't, however, have the most efficient shooting performance, going 1-of-7 from three and 10-of-27 from the floor overall. Tim Hardaway Jr. added 21 points of his own, while Dwight Powell and Jalen Brunson scored 16 and 14 points, respectively. Dallas couldn't get anything going from the outside Monday night, shooting a pretty poor 9-of-35 (25.7 percent) from behind the arc.
