DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks hadn't won eight in a row at home since the year they won the NBA championship.
On Tuesday night, they matched that mark and continued their upward trajectory in the rugged Western Conference.
Luka Doncic scored 21 points and Wesley Matthews added 17 as the Mavericks won for the ninth time in 11 games, beating the Portland Trail Blazers 111-102.
DeAndre Jordan added 12 points and 17 rebounds for Dallas, which won its eighth in a row at American Airlines Center for the first time since March 2011 -- three months before they defeated Miami for the franchise's only NBA title.
