SALT LAKE CITY (AP)\u2014Reserve Jason Terry<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored five of his 22 points in a
\n13-0 fourth-quarter run to lead the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> to a 94-77 victory Saturday
\nnight over Utah and hand the slumping Jazz their fifth straight loss.<\/p>\n

The win gave the Mavs their first series sweep of the Jazz since the
\n2004-2005 season.<\/p>\n

Dirk Nowitzki<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> added 19 points and ran his consecutive free throw mark to 72.<\/p>\n

The Jazz took a 60-58 lead into the fourth quarter, and led 70-68 with 6:21
\nleft on Raja Bell\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> 20-foot jumper. But the Mavs went on a 13-0 run.<\/p>\n

Jose Barea and Terry started it with back-to-back 3-pointers, Shawn Marion<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>
\nthen stole the ball and dunked at the other end for a 76-70 lead. Tyson Chandler<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>
\ncapped the run with a three-point play.<\/p>\n

Al Jefferson<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> led the Jazz with 21 points, but was ejected in the final
\nminute.<\/p>\n

Utah scored just 30 points in the second half after leading 22-20 after the
\nfirst and 47-43 at halftime.<\/p>\n

The Jazz started strong, forcing 12 Dallas turnovers in the first half.
\nStarters C.J. Miles<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> Jefferson and Paul Millsap<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> were a combined 15 of 22 (68.2
\npercent) in the first half. But they finished a combined 22 of 47, with Miles
\ncontinuing his 3-point shooting slump with a 1-for-5 effort Saturday.<\/p>\n

Neither team shot well in the third quarter, with Dallas outscoring Utah
\n15-13. The Mavs shot just 25 percent and the Jazz just 26 percent.<\/p>\n

Overall, the Jazz shot just 42.1 percent and committed 19 turnovers.<\/p>\n

Nowitzki entered having made 63 straight free throws. He was 9 of 9 Saturday
\nto make it 72 straight. His personal record of 82 straight ranks third all-time
\nin NBA history behind Michael Williams (97 in 1993 with Minnesota) and Jose
\nCalderon<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> (87 in 2008-2009 with Toronto).<\/p>\n

Utah entered Saturday\u2019s game four games behind eighth-placed Memphis with
\nnine games remaining. In mid-January, they were as many as 14 games over .500.
\nThe Jazz have lost seven of their last nine and are 5-15 under Ty Corbin.<\/p>\n

The Jazz were playing their second straight game without starters Devin
\nHarris<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and Andrei Kirilenko<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> who represented 26.6 points and 7.5 rebounds out of
\nthe lineup.<\/p>\n

Notes: Gordon Hayward<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> who led Butler to the national title game last
\nseason, was able to watch most of Saturday\u2019s regional final which the Bulldogs
\nwon in overtime against Florida. \u201cI\u2019m real excited for those guys,\u201d said
\nHayward, who also won a $100 bet with Bell, his Jazz teammate. Hayward would
\nhave been a junior at Butler had he stayed in school, but said he has no regrets
\nabout leaving. He\u2019s averaging 4.0 points in a reserve role for Utah, but was
\ncoming off a 13-point, three-block, five-assist game against New Orleans. \u2026
\nSince the All-Star break Jefferson is averaging 25.3 points\u2014fourth-best in the
\nNBA. \u2026 After 74 games last year, the Jazz were 48-26.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
