The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Portland Trailblazers 117-112 Saturday night in Dallas. Dallas was looking to start their homestand on a good note after dropping two games on a road back-to-back, and Portland was looking hot, carrying a 6-1 road record and arriving in Dallas to finish a six-game road trip.
Luka Doncic shook off whatever ailed him in a lackluster performance in Washington and finished with a huge 42-13-10 triple-double. Spencer Dinwiddie had a big night as well, contributing 20 points, but coming up huge in the fourth as Dallas was looking to throw a knockout punch.
