NBA: Dallas 110, Oklahoma City 108 (OT)

DALLAS, Feb. 28 (UPI) --

Jason Kidd and Dirk Nowitzki scored all of Dallas' 15 overtime points Friday, lifting the Mavericks to a 110-108 victory over Oklahoma City.

Nowitzki finished with 41 points and Kidd made four free throws during the final 10 seconds to secure the victory.

Oklahoma City almost pulled out a win despite playing most of the game without star forward Kevin Durant, the fourth-leading scorer in the NBA. He left in the first quarter with a sprained right ankle.

X-rays were negative, but he did not return.

The Mavericks trailed by 12 points in the fourth period before going on a 16-0 run to take the lead. Russell Westbrook got Oklahoma City into the overtime by hitting a 3-pointer with 17 seconds remaining.

Westbrook scored 33 points and Jeff Green had 28 for the Thunder, who have lost seven in a row.
