Chauncey Billups delivered on his reputation as “Mr Big Shot” with a game-winning three-pointer with one second remaining to give the Los Angeles Clippers a 91-89 home victory over the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday. In a wild final minute that saw the Mavericks erase a five-point deficit on a pair of three-pointers from Jason Terry, Billups responded to help the Clippers see off the defending champions even without injured point guard Chris Paul. A former Finals MVP known for rising to the occasion at key moments, Billups took a handoff from Blake Griffin on his team's final possession and drained the winner. “It was a great play,” Billups told reporters after finishing with 21 points and eight rebounds. “It's a great win for us in our third game in three days. It got a little crazy at the end but we got the win.” DeAndre Jordan added 19 and Griffin tallied 14 points, 17 rebounds and seven assists. Dirk Nowitzki and Delonte West had 17 apiece for Dallas (8-7).
