The shorthanded Portland Trail Blazers faced the Dallas Mavericks in the regular season finale for both teams that had no playoff implications for either. The Trail Blazers said they were looking to use this as a tune-up for the playoffs, and one can only hope that it’s a case of getting the kinks out of the hose before turning the water on. They fell 114-98 in a game that wasn’t often competitive.
Not a recap
The flow of this game: Mavericks score, Mavericks build lead, Trail Blazers play back into it, Mavericks laugh and build bigger lead, the end.
