DALLAS -- O. Corey Crawford Jersey.J. Mayo had Denver beat with a tie-breaking 3-pointer late in regulation. The mistake-prone Dallas guard gave the Nuggets another chance to set a franchise record in wins with a turnover in the final seconds, so he had to hit another go-ahead shot from long range in overtime. Dirk Nowitzki scored 22, Mayo overcame his huge mistake with his first 20-point game in more than a month, and the Mavericks denied the Nuggets their 55th win with a 108-105 overtime victory on Friday night. The Mavericks were up by two when they inbounded to Mayo -- their turnover leader this year -- with 10 seconds left in regulation. He tried to dribble through traffic but lost the ball to Andre Miller, who found Corey Brewer for a tying layup with 3.9 seconds remaining. "Youve just got to understand theres still more game left," said Mayo, who surprisingly got all the way to rim after the bucket by Brewer but missed a layup at the buzzer. "You cant really sit there and dwell on turning the ball over. They made the play at the end, and I thought we made more plays in overtime to get the win." Mayo scored the first five Dallas points in the extra period, including a 3-pointer from the left wing for a 104-101 Dallas lead with 2:40 remaining. The Mavericks, playing two nights after getting eliminated from the playoff race for the first time since 2000, then held on in a frantic final minute. Mayo was 5 of 7 from long range and finished with 20 points, his most since scoring 22 against Detroit on March 8. Vince Carter had 22 points and a season-high 12 rebounds. Brewer, Wilson Chandler and Andre Iguodala led the Nuggets with 18 points apiece, and Kenneth Faried had 11 points and 10 rebounds. The loss kept Denver at 54 wins, which the Nuggets have reached twice previously. The last time was with Carmelo Anthony leading the way in 2008-09, when the Nuggets beat the Mavericks in five games in the second round of the playoffs. The Nuggets lost their last chance to finish as the No. 2 seed and will remain in a battle for home court in the first round with Memphis and the Los Angeles Clippers over their final three games. "Im not going to overreact to anything other than we have three games left," Denver coach George Karl said. "I think we all want third. But if we get fourth or fifth, weve had a helluva year and well get ready to go play in the playoffs." While the Mavericks will miss the post-season for the first time since Nowitzkis second year, they can get back to .500 for the first time since December with a win Sunday at New Orleans. That would also mean the bearded German and several Dallas veterans can shave after vowing two months ago not to do it until they reached the break-even mark. "Honestly, I try to play the end of the season out strong and win the next game for coach," said Nowitzki, who scored 16 in the first half. "Once I go out there, its fun. I try to win and go out there and compete." Dallas was nursing a 106-105 lead when Brewer was called for a foul on Nowitzki with 0.5 seconds on the shot clock and 6.1 seconds left in the game. The Mavericks threw a long inbound pass to Darren Collison, who avoided being fouled until there were just 1.9 seconds left. Collison hit both free throws and Iguodala was short on a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer. "Its amazing," Karl said after a long pause when asked about the foul call against Brewer. "There are a lot of things about that game. We didnt get a foul call that whole third quarter. We were driving to the basket on almost every possession. Not one foul." Denver point guard Ty Lawson returned after missing five games with a right plantar fasciitis tear, but didnt play half of the fourth quarter and overtime because he was limited to 20 minutes. He scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter and finished 13. "I got three weeks of rest, but Ive got to get back into game shape," Lawson said. "I didnt feel like I was tired out there or anything, but I need to get back to teammates getting used to me. Theyve been playing a different style since Ive been out." After Mayo put Dallas ahead 99-96 with a 3-pointer in the final minute of regulation, Miller was fouled on a drive and the referees ruled goaltending against Brandan Wright before overturning the call on video review. Miller missed the second free throw, and Mayo found Wright, who was fouled as he barely missed a layup. Wright missed both free throws, but Iguodala, who hit a game-winning layup to beat the Mavericks in Denver and was coming off a triple-double against San Antonio, missed a contested jumper before Mayos turnover gave Denver another chance to tie. NOTES: Nowitzki finished 10 points shy of 25,000 for his career. He should become the 17th NBA player to reach the milestone Sunday at New Orleans. Jerry West is 16th at 25,192 points. Nowitzki is third among active players behind Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett. ... The Nuggets won all five games that Lawson, their leading scorer, missed with his foot problem. That included almost three full games without Danilo Gallinari, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee early in a home game against the Mavericks last week. Gallinari had a career-high 39 points at Dallas in December. Mavericks C Elton Brand returned after missing four games with a strained right calf. Martin Havlat Blackhawks Jersey. -- Henry Burris seized the moment. Patrick Sharp Jersey. That philosophy worked for the Ottawa Senators on Sunday. Filip Kuba scored the game-winner with 1:11 to go in regulation as the Senators staged another dramatic comeback to defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-4. http://www.blackhawksteamstore.com/clark-griswold-jersey/. Louis Blues face off. The outcome of Thursday nights game between the Central Division rivals was typical, with the Blues winning 3-2 in a shootout. ED Belfour Jersey. The Gunners are in sixth place, four points adrift of fourth-place Chelsea, which is still to play Manchester City on Sunday. In a game of few clear-cut chances, it needed a fine save from Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny to deny Villa substitute Brett Holman a late winner. Denis Savard Jersey."

MASON, Ohio -- Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Roger Federer won their opening matches at the Western & Southern Open in straight sets Wednesday, getting accustomed to the heat after spending the last two weeks in London and Canada. Djokovic got the bronze medal at the Olympics in London, then won the Rogers Cup in Toronto on Sunday night. He was a little off in his opening set on a court baked in sunshine and 86-degree heat, before pulling away from Andreas Seppi of Italy 7-6 (4), 6-2. "Sometimes its really hard to try to stay fit for every single tournament and try to perform your best," Djokovic said. "I mean, in the last three, four weeks, I have changed three different cities, places, surfaces, conditions. Im still trying to figure out where I am." Murray had the best moment of his career at Wimbledon, winning the Olympic gold on home soil. He had to withdraw from the Rogers Cup because of a sore knee, which he blamed on the transition from grass to hard courts. Murray, the defending champion in Cincinnati, moved around the court well during his 6-2, 6-4 win over Sam Querrey. The American repeatedly missed open shots while falling behind and managed only two break points during the match, both of which Murray saved. "It felt fine," Murray said of his knee. "I moved well today. It still was giving me a little bit of trouble in practice for a couple of days before the tournament, but it felt fine, much better on the court today. I moved well, so Im hoping it wont be a problem." Federer had no trouble in his evening match against Russias Alex Bogomolov, winning 6-3, 6-2 in exactly one hour. He served 12 aces and didnt face a break point until the final game of the match. Federer skipped the Rogers Cup, so it was his first match back on a hard court. "Its nice to be back on the hard courts," Federer said. "I served really well. He struggled to get into some rallies." On the womens side, top-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland also advanced to the third round with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Sofia Arvidsson of Sweden. Venus Williams moved on with her second three-set victory in two days. Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan quit her match while trailing in the second set, overcome by the heat, and also dropped out of her later doubles match. Radwanska, who received a first-round bye, felt a little rusty. "The first match is always more difficult, with the different balls and conditions," she said. "I was happy to get through it, especially since it was very hot. Hopefully, Ill better (Thursday)." Radwanska, who lost to Serena Williams in the Wimbledon final and is ranked No. 3 in the world, will meet Sloane Stephens of the United States, who got into the tournament as a wild card. "Ill just go out and play my game," Stephens said, adding with a smile, "Im not going to tell you how Im going to play, because shell probably read this and know how to play." Venus Williams won the gold medal in doubles with her sister in London and arrived for the tournament in suburban Cincinnati upbeat. She needed three sets and 2 hours, 23 minutes to win her opening match Tuesday, then followed it with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Russias CChanelle Scheepers in the afternoon heat that lasted an hour and 46 minutes. Bobby Hull Jersey After Scheepers long return ended it, Williams briefly raised her arm in celebration, walked slowly to the net to shake hands, and sat down and rubbed her forehead with both hands. Eleventh-seeded Dominka Cibulkova withdrew with an injury after losing the first set in a tiebreaker against qualifier Andrea Hlavackova of the Czech Republic. Chinas Shuai Peng also advanced with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Roberta Vinci of Italy. In mens action, Canadian Milos Raonic struggled for more than two hours before finally overcoming former Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-4 to reach the third round of the Western & Southern Open. The 21-year-old got out of trouble repeatedly with his serve, which produced 22 aces. He had 12 Tuesday night when he opened with a victory over Rogers Cup finalist Richard Gasquet. Raonic improved to 2-0 over the recently married Baghdatis after beating the Cypriot last October at an indoor tournament in Stockholm, Sweden. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., hit 46 winners, and broke Baghdatis for a 5-4 lead in the final set. But he had trouble finishing out the win, and had to save three break points in the next game. He finally got an opening as he earned a match point and finished the job on a Baghdatis error. Baghdatis was treated for a back and hip problem in the second set, but didnt seem to affect his play. Raonic saved all six of the break points he faced and he profited from 33 Baghdatis errors. "It was hot and maybe the ball was just going through the court a little bit quicker, but I started off the match not playing aggressive enough," said Raonic. "I started playing too flat, just to the way he likes, and then I was sort of figuring out a few points here and there. "I didnt really have a solution consistently throughout the match, so that sort of made it difficult." Raonic, ranked a career-high 19th in the world, next faces Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, a regular in the ATP top 10. The two have never played each other before. "Were both going to be going for our shots," said the Canadian, "For myself, on my serve its going to be a priority to really try to dictate as much as possible; on the returns, just sort of make him try to play as much as possible and hopefully create some opportunities with it." No. 10-seeded Mardy Fish of the United States advanced to the third round by defeating Carlos Berlocq of Argentina 6-3, 6-1. Serbian Victor Troicki moved on to the third round with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Australian Lleyton Hewitt. Nikolay Davydenko of Russia beat Florian Meyer of Germany 6-3, 6-3. Fish was happy to advance relatively easily against an unfamiliar opponent while still working back into form after a surgical procedure to correct a heart condition in May. "It was nice to get on and off quickly, especially with a win," said Fish, whod never played Berlocq in singles. "You also can get on and off quickly with a loss. Its somewhat tricky. You never know what to expect. I played as well today as I have all summer. Hes a good player. If youre not on top of your game, you could be in trouble." ' ' '
