ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Victor Oladipo had 17 points and a career-high 14 rebounds and hit the 3-pointer that put Orlando ahead for good in overtime to beat the Dallas Mavericks 110-104 on Friday night.

The Mavericks came back from an early 21-point deficit to lead by as many as 14 and broke a franchise record with 19 3-pointers, but lost for the fifth time in six games.

Deron Williams scored 25 points for Dallas and Chandler Parsons added 24, and the pair combined to make 11 of 16 3-pointers. Williams' record-setter with 9.3 seconds left in overtime was Dallas' only 3-pointer in more than 14 minutes.

Nik Vucevic led the Magic with 21 points and 12 rebounds.

Evan Fournier's layup with 12.2 seconds left in regulation tied it for the Magic, and Dirk Nowitzki missed a jumper just before the buzzer to send the 98-all game into overtime.

Oladipo, Aaron Gordon and newly acquired Brandon Jennings scored the final nine points for the Magic.

Charlie Villanueva tied the franchise record with 9:25 remaining in the fourth quarter, hitting the Mavericks' 18th 3-pointer of the game.

The Mavericks missed their first eight shots and Vucevic scored seven points on an early 11-0 run that pulled the Magic ahead. Two straight baskets by Jennings, who finished with 18 points, gave the Magic a 31-10 lead late in the first quarter.

Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova were playing in their first game with Orlando, having been acquired in a Tuesday trade that sent forward Tobias Harris to Detroit.

Dallas had the 21-point lead erased before halftime, connecting on nine 3-pointers in a 38-point second quarter, but two baskets by Ilyasoya regained a three-point halftime lead for the Magic.
