Mavericks 109, Knicks 102 (OT): Dirk Nowitzki scored a season-high 30 points as the Mavericks ended a two-game losing streak with a hard-fought win over the visiting Knicks.

Chandler Parsons added 13 points and J.J. Barea scored 10 off the bench to lead the Dallas reserves.

Jose Calderon matched his career high with seven 3-pointers on nine attempts and finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Knicks, who have lost 11 of 13. J.R.

The Knicks hurt themselves with six turnovers in overtime. Dallas stripped the ball twice from New York in its offensive end and Nowitzki scored on a short jumper after the second backcourt turnover for a 103-99 lead with 43 seconds left, and the Knicks could draw no closer.
