BOSTON – Jerry Stackhouse made a baseline jumper with 0.1 seconds left to lift the Dallas Mavericks over the Boston Celtics 104-102 Monday night.

Jason Terry hit seven 3-pointers and finished with 30 points and Dirk Nowitzki scored 26 as the Mavericks won their third straight game. The improved to 13-5 on the road, best in the Western Conference.

Stackhouse got the ball in front of the Celtics bench and drove the right baseline before pulling up and nailing a 12-footer over Ricky Davis. Stackhouse finished 20 points and Keith Van Horn had 12.

Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 32 points, tying it with a 3-pointer with 6.5 seconds to play. The Celtics erased a 12-point deficit in the closing 5:50.

Van Horn hit two 3s, Nowitzki one and Terry another during a 14-4 run that made it 96-84.

The Celtics answered with a 15-4 spree, closing to 100-99 on Pierce’s driving dunk with 1:35 to go. Mark Blount missed a jumper with just over a minute left that would have given Boston the lead, and Josh Howard grabbed the rebound. Howard also got an offensive rebound before Nowitzki hit a fallaway over Pierce, making it 102-99 with 16 seconds to play.

Pierce then nailed his 3, setting the stage for Stackhouse.

Led by three from Terry, five of Dallas’ eight baskets in the third quarter were 3-pointers as the Mavericks took a 79-74 lead.

The Mavericks took their first lead since early in the second quarter at 68-65 when Terry nailed his sixth 3-pointer of the game with 5:51 left in the third period.

The Celtics led 53-51 at halftime.

Jazz 97, Wizards 89

WASHINGTON – Mehmet Okur had 19 points and 13 rebounds, and the Utah Jazz moved above .500 Monday night with a 97-89 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Andrei Kirilenko added 17 points for the Jazz, who used balanced scoring and patient teamwork to win their seventh in eight games. They had assists on nine of their first 11 baskets and began to pull away with a 14-2 run starting late in the first quarter, then held off a too-little, too-late Wizards rally in the fourth.

The Jazz, who won at Detroit in overtime on Saturday, finished with 28 assists on 37 field goals and have a winning record for the first time in nearly two months, when they were 4-3 following a Nov. 12 win over Chicago.

Antawn Jamison scored a season-high 30 points to lead the Wizards, who have lost four of five and again were booed off the court, this time after Gilbert Arenas missed a layup that left them trailing 47-33 at halftime. Washington is 1-3 with one to go in a set of five games coach Eddie Jordan had targeted to turn around the season, with the only victory coming by one point Saturday over struggling Boston.

The Wizards whittled a 22-point, third-quarter deficit to six in the final 2 minutes of the game, but one big possession regained the momentum for the Jazz. Matt Harpring made a nice catch to save a timeline violation, and Deron Williams hit a 3-pointer just before the shot clock expired to get Utah’s lead back to nine with 1:17 remaining.

Caron Butler scored 16 points, and Antonio Daniels had a season-high 15 for the Wizards. Arenas scored 14 but struggled most of the game, shooting 6-for-17. He had only eight points on 3-for-9 shooting at halftime.

76ers 107, Sonics 98

PHILADELPHIA – Allen Iverson scored 41 points, John Salmons had 18 and Kyle Korver 17 to lead the Philadelphia 76ers over the Seattle SuperSonics 107-98 on Monday night.

Certainly returning home provided an immediate fix for the slumping Sixers. When they left for a 15-day, seven-game road trip, they were in first place in the Atlantic Division; they returned four games back in the division race after a 2-5 mark.

The Sonics have been just as bad, finishing 1-4 on a road trip that saw them fire Bob Weiss and replace him with Bob Hill. Hill promised a quicker pace and improvement on defense as ways to turn around Seattle’s disappointing season.

Well, Seattle’s league-worst defense still needs some work.

Iverson scored 40-plus points for the eighth time this season as he chases Kobe Bryant for the league scoring title. Iverson wasn’t the only one getting open looks – the Sixers shot 53 percent from the floor, seven points higher than their average.

Chris Webber sat out with a lower back strain and was listed as day-to-day. Coach Maurice Cheeks was hopeful that some rest would allow Webber to return for Wednesday’s game against Utah.

Salmons started in Webber’s place and hardly missed a beat on 7-for-9 shooting. Andre Iguodala had 16 points and Samuel Dalembert 11 to put all five starters in double digits.

Ray Allen led the Sonics with 27 points and Vladimir Radmanovic had 15 points and 12 rebounds.
