DALLAS\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Darius Garland<\/a> scored a season-high 41 points, Kawhi Leonard<\/a> added 34 with a tying bucket late in regulation and the Clippers<\/a> beat Dallas 138-131<\/a> in overtime on Saturday night, extending the Mavericks\u2019 longest home losing streak in 32 years to 11 games.<\/p>\n

Derrick Jones Jr. scored 15 points with a pair of three-pointers in the extra period, and Garland had 11 assists as the Clippers ended a four-game skid that followed a four-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

The Clippers pulled even with Portland for eighth in the Western Conference. Both teams are safely in the mix for the play-in tournament.<\/p>\n

Naji Marshall scored 28 points for the Mavericks, who are on their longest skid at the 25-year old American Airlines Center. Dallas had home losing streaks of 19 and 12 games during the 1993-94 season at since-demolished Reunion Arena.<\/p>\n

Marshall\u2019s steal and assist for P.J. Washington\u2019s dunk put Dallas ahead 122-120, but Leonard scored after a timeout to get the Clippers even with 19 seconds to go.<\/p>\n

Cooper Flagg, who scored 18 points, missed a jumper in the final seconds, and Washington was just late when he swished a jumper after grabbing an offensive rebound. Washington scored 21 points.<\/p>\n

Garland also had a season high with eight three-pointers, the last following one from Jones that put the Clippers ahead for good at 125-124 in overtime. A bucket from Leonard and another three from Jones put the Clippers up by nine.<\/p>\n

Leonard, who has alternated between playing and sitting over the past four games while nursing a sprained left ankle, played 36 minutes, including all of overtime.<\/p>\n

Flagg, the rookie No. 1 pick, had nine rebounds and seven assists while matching his season high with four blocked shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DALLAS\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Darius Garland scored a season-high 41 points, Kawhi Leonard added 34 with a tying bucket late in regulation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":672369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3793],"tags":[7,7736,559,225,686,149,4057,791,142,529,85833,166,5989,6,649,8198,65,2084,14503],"class_list":["post-672368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas-mavericks","tag-basketball","tag-clipper","tag-clippers","tag-cooper-flagg","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-mavericks","tag-dallasmavericks","tag-darius-garland","tag-game","tag-kawhi-leonard","tag-long-home","tag-mavericks","tag-naji-marshall","tag-nba","tag-offensive-rebound","tag-overtime","tag-point","tag-season","tag-streak"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116271997553970502","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=672368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/672369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=672368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=672368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=672368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
