Mavericks extend Timberwolves' losing streak

DALLAS - Josh Howard, Jason Terry and Devin Harris sparked a fourth-quarter surge, carrying the Dallas Mavericks past the Minnesota Timberwolves 102-95 Sunday night.

Harris' open court moves led to several layups for himself and others. Howard was among those benefiting, scoring seven of his 23 points in the final period. Terry opened the quarter with a 3-pointer, ending a stretch of eight straight misses, and scored 10 of his 14 points in the quarter, with several coming from the foul line to preserve the win.
