The Trail Blazers’ victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night might have provided Portland’s fans with the most exciting two minutes of basketball of the season. After losing to Dallas the previous Friday, coach Terry Stotts and his squad were in desperate need of win, making the 114-113 outcome even sweeter for Portland.

Coach Nick of Basketball Breakdown highlighted the final moments of the Blazers’ victory. If you’re curious about the X’s and O’s behind the game-changing plays from the last two minutes of Tuesday night’s game, this analysis is a must watch.

In the video (provided below), you can see Dirk Nowitzki’s two 3-point bombs set the stage for an even more impressive seven-point flurry from CJ McCollum in the final minute of action. Along with the scoring, you can observe how Al-Farouq Aminu and Wesley Matthews dictated the action by creating turnovers for their respective teams.

In a season lacking signature wins, this exciting finish stands out for the Blazers.
