Jokic hit two crucial game-tying shots in the final minutes, setting the stage for Porter Jr. to break the 120-all deadlock.
Jamal Murray added 18 points, and Porter Jr. finished with 17 as Denver extended its winning streak to five games, improving to 7-3.
For Dallas, Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 43 points, along with five rebounds and five assists, but his late attempts to close the game fell short.
Irving’s first critical three-pointer was blocked by Denver’s Peyton Watson with 30 seconds left, preventing Dallas from taking the lead.
Luka Doncic contributed 24 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Mavericks from slipping to 5-5 after back-to-back losses.
