WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Boston Celtics rallied from 13 points down in the fourth quarter to beat the Dallas Mavericks 110-102 in overtime on Monday and extend their winning streak to 16 games.

The winning streak ties the fourth-longest in franchise history, and for the third game in a row, Boston trailed by double digits.

"For us it's just about battling back when teams get a comfortable rhythm, whether it'd be in the first half or the second half," Irving said, who scored season-high 47 points in the gme.

"As a group we continue just to stick together throughout anything and everything," he added.

Brown finished with 22 for Boston. Harrison Barnes scored 31 points and Wesley Matthews had 18 for Dallas.
