The Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks opened up an all-offense, all the time Superstore in the Moda Center on Friday night. Jerami Grant returned for the Blazers. Luka Doncic stepped up for the Mavericks. Each team put up a couple of side players in duels that would make any Pokemon trainer gasp with delight.
But Dallas hit on all cylinders offensively. The Blazers missed three-point shooting and had lulls in their attack during critical stretches of the game. That led to a 131-120 Mavericks victory despite the impressive scoring performance from Portland.
