 DALLAS (AP) - Jason Terry re-emerged late for the Dallas Mavericks, just when they needed him again. After scoring 32 of his season-high 35 points by the midpoint of the third quarter, Terry hit a big 3-pointer then set up Dirk Nowitzki's 19-footer with 1.3 seconds left in a 101-99 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.
"All respect goes to JT. He came out lights out shooting the ball, getting us into our offense and just running the team," Josh Howard said. "He was our general. Dirk and myself struggled, but at key plays, he found both guys and we finished the basket for him."
The Mavericks (22-7), with the best record in the NBA, won their eighth straight game. The defending Western Conference champs are 22-3 since the first 0-4 start in team history.
