Dennis Smith Captains Mavericks to Victory over Trail Blazers

The Dallas Mavericks won’t reach 30 wins this season. Dirk Nowitzki is 342 years old, the Nerlens Noel experiment has been a disaster, and even his mom doesn’t think Harrison Barnes is a #1 option in an NBA offense. None of that stopped the Mavericks from rolling past a devil-may-care (cuz we sure don’t) Portland Trail Blazers defense tonight. If the Blazers brought any resistance into American Airlines Center, they left it in the locker room. A good showing from rookie Dennis Smith Jr. and a few three pointers were enough to catapult the Mavericks to a 115-109 win.
