DALLAS (AP) -- Gordon Hayward hit a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer in overtime and the Utah Jazz extended their season-best winning streak to seven games with a 121-119 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.

Rodney Hood had a tying 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left in regulation as the Jazz ended a 10-game losing streak in Dallas. Their last win on the Mavericks' home court was Jan. 9, 2010.

Hood finished with 29 points, and Hayward had 20, including 13 in the second half and overtime.

Chandler Parsons led Dallas with 24 points but missed an open 3-pointer for the lead with 24 seconds left in the Mavericks' second straight overtime game and NBA-high eighth of the season.

With the Jazz down 110-107 in regulation, Hood took a handoff coming around a screen and hit a leaning shot from the left corner over Parsons, who scrambled over on a switch.

Hood's tying shot was the only made 3-pointer of the second half for either team after Dallas took a 29-21 first-quarter lead without making a two-pointer. The Mavericks were 6 of 12 from long range and made all 11 of their free throws in the opening quarter.

Utah slowly erased a 15-point second-quarter deficit, finally getting even at 94-all on a floater by Hayward midway through the fourth quarter. Dallas had led since early in the first.

The Jazz led for most of the overtime before Parsons hit a tying 3 with 1:47 left. Utah couldn't convert on three chances in one possession before Parsons missed a jumper and Hood got loose for a layup that Parsons blocked from behind on a play that was originally ruled goaltending and overturned on review.

The reversal led to a jump ball at midcourt with 39 seconds left. Rudy Gobert easily won the tip but Dirk Nowitzki, who had 17 points and nine rebounds, stepped between a pair of Jazz players to grab it. After a timeout, Nowitzki found Parsons open on the left wing, but Parsons missed.

Hayward's winner from the left baseline over Dallas center Zaza Pachulia came after an inbounds pass with 4.2 seconds left.

Deron Williams, who had 23 points, put the Mavericks ahead 104-103 on a jumper with 1:06 remaining, and they stayed in front by hitting all six of their free throws in the final minute while twice answering layups from Hayward.

Raymond Felton, who had 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists, hit a pair of free throws for a 110-107 lead with 7 seconds left, setting up Hood's tying shot. The Mavericks had season high on makes (36) and attempts (41) from the line.

Dallas couldn't hold an early 15-point lead and lost a chance to build on the momentum of an overtime win at Memphis going into the All-Star break.

Derrick Favors had 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Jazz, who finish a back-to-back at New Orleans on Wednesday night before the break.
