DENVER (AP) — D.J. Augustin scored Denver's last eight points of overtime, including two free throws with 0.9 seconds left, and the Nuggets beat the Dallas Mavericks 116-114 on Sunday.
Augustin finished with 12 points to help the Nuggets get payback after an overtime loss in Dallas on Feb. 26.
Kenneth Faried had 25 points and a season-high 20 rebounds for the Nuggets, who rallied from four down in the last 10 seconds of regulation. Will Barton added 20 points.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 30 points and Deron Williams had 17 for the Mavericks, who have lost two straight.
The game was tied when Williams missed a layup with 16.8 seconds left in overtime. After a timeout, Augustin drove the lane and was fouled by Raymond Felton. He calmly sank both free throws, and Emmanuel Mudiay blocked Wesley Matthews' 3-pointer at the buzzer.
