DALLAS — Andre Miller scored a career-high 52 points, including 25 in the fourth quarter and overtime, and Juwan Howard hit a jumper with 44.8 seconds left to lift the Portland Trail Blazers past the Dallas Mavericks 114-112 Saturday night.

Miller was 22 of 31 from the floor and hit 7 of 8 from the foul line as the Blazers snapped a three-game losing streak.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 28 points, but he missed two shots in the final minute and one just before the buzzer that could have sent the game into a second overtime.
Miller fell two points shy of the Portland team record set by Damon Stoudamire. Milwaukee rookie Brandon Jennings has the most points in the NBA this season with 55 on Nov. 14.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 21 points and Jerryd Bayless added 17 for Portland, which was playing without All-Star guard Brandon Roy for a sixth straight game because of a right hamstring injury.

The Blazers have won two in a row in Dallas since snapping an 11-game losing streak here in December.

Miller, who scored Portland’s last nine points in regulation, floated in a hook shot over Shawn Marion to tie the game at 103 with 14.8 seconds remaining in the fourth.
Nowitzki missed a chance to win it in regulation, and Aldridge’s long jumper at the buzzer was short, sending the game into overtime.
NOTES: Blazers coach Nate McMillan said Roy will be evaluated on Monday and is day to day. ...
