The Raptors pushed their lead to 89-81 at the 9:32 mark in the fourth quarter, but the Mavericks went on a 14-4 run capped by back-to-back three-pointers by Calderon and Nowtizki. However, the Raptors answered with a three-pointer and 19-footer from John Salmons to regain the lead. After Ellis and Shawn Marion got buckets for the Mavericks, an Amir Johnson free throw tied the game. Marion then hit a seven-footer, but DeMar DeRozan answered with a 10-footer to tie it. On the next possession, Nowitzki couldn’t connect on a jumper and Brandan Wright missed the subsequent tip-in.

The two teams continued to go back and forth in overtime. After Valanciunas broke a 105-105 tie with 1:40 to play, Calderon hit a three-pointer to give the Mavericks the lead. DeRozan answered with a 16-footer of his own and Monta Ellis’ runner at the buzzer would not go, giving the Raptors the victory. 

The Raptors improve to 10-14 and 6-6 on the road, while the Mavericks fall to 15-11.
