Mavs prevail in OT

MILWAUKEE – Dirk Nowitzki hit a fallaway 18-footer as time expired in overtime to give the Dallas Mavericks a 115-113 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night.

With 3.1 seconds left, Nowitzki caught a pass from Jason Kidd, who finished a point short of a triple-double, and threw it up over Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. The ball rattled off the rim and backboard, dropping softly through the hoop as the backboard lights came on. The play was reviewed, but counted.

Nowitzki, who finished with 32 points and 11 rebounds, immediately untucked his jersey and celebrated with his teammates near Dallas’ bench.

Bucks rookie Brandon Jennings had 25 points, seven rebounds and eight assists in his first game since scoring 55 against the Warriors on Saturday.

Hawks 99, Trail Blazers 95 (OT): At Atlanta, Joe Johnson scored eight of his 35 points in overtime, and Atlanta solved Portland’s defense in time to beat the Trail Blazers.

Magic 97, Bobcats 91: At Orlando, Fla., Rashard Lewis had 10 points in his first game back from a suspension, and Orlando defeated Charlotte.
