On the heels of an impressive road trip, the Portland Trail Blazers suffered their second home loss in as many nights on Wednesday, this time against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs put 41 on the board in the first quarter, and shook off a mid-game lull to finish off the home team by a final score of 132-112. Kristaps Porzingis (22 points) and Jalen Brunson (20 points, 11 assists) led a balanced charge for Dallas, who also got a triple double from Luka Doncic, despite an quiet scoring night from the young superstar.
Portland was led by the backcourt duo of Anfernee Simons (23 points, seven assists) and CJ McCollum (20 points, six assists).
