A great play late in the game by No. 2 led to Dallas’ narrow 107-102 win Tuesday night over the struggling LA Clippers.

Dallas (21-13), who had an 18-point lead at halftime, saw it slip away near the end of the fourth quarter. It was Jason’s steal from rookie Eric Gordon with 28.8 left to play in the middle of Nowitzki’s scoring blitz that helped the Mavs’ cap off the win.

Jason had three points, eight rebounds, ten points and three steals in 35 minutes.

Jason and Co. have not lost back to back games in 25 played. Their last losing streak came in the beginning of November.
