Analysis: Trail Blazers Show Heart, Eventually Succumb to Dallas Attack

The Trail Blazers play a resilient game against the Mavericks, dominating on the glass but showing defensive weaknesses at the point of attack and in transition. After several runs and counter-runs, Dallas gets the last break-away and mows down the flagging Blazers.

Final: Mavs Outgun the Blazers, 114-91

The Portland Trail Blazers kept it close all night, but had no answer for the insanely hot-shooting Dallas Mavericks team led by OJ Mayo. However, they still head home with a .500 record. A late Mavs run left the score unrepresentative of the game that preceded it.
