The Blazers (48-30) started their final road trip of the season with a loss to the woeful Dallas Mavericks, 115-109.
It didn’t start off all that great, either — a sign of things to come, perhaps.
On the Blazers’ first offensive play, Jusuf Nurkic lost the ball trying to maneuver to the basket inside a crowded key. And the team started off shooting 1/7 from the floor.
But because Portland was playing the Dallas Mavericks (24-54) and their terrible offense, they didn’t fall too far behind.
In fact, after about five minutes of awful offense from both squads, the score was tied at seven.
