| March 8, 2010 8:00 PM

Shawn Marion had a season-high 29 points and 14 rebounds and the Dallas Mavericks stretched the league's longest active winning streak to 12 straight games with a 125-112 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis on Monday night.

The Mavericks (44-21) haven't lost since Feb. 16 at Oklahoma City and have climbed into second place in the Western Conference, not far behind the Los Angeles Lakers (46-18).

Cavaliers 97, Spurs 95: Mo Williams made two free throws with 9 seconds left and host Cleveland won without its superstar, beating San Antonio.

Knicks 99, Hawks 98: New York beat visiting Atlanta for the third time this season when video replay showed Al Horford's basket came after the buzzer.

Hornets 135, Warriors 131: Darren Collison had 16 points and a career-high 20 assists, and host New Orleans snapped a four-game losing streak.

Collison's assists total tied Phoenix's Steve Nash for the most in an NBA game this season.

Grizzlies 107, Nets 101: Mike Conley and Rudy Gay had 21 points each, and Marc Gasol added 19 points and 13 rebounds and host Memphis withstood a second-half rally to defeat New Jersey, snapping an eight-game home losing streak.
