The Dallas Mavericks ended a three-game losing streak with a 138-133 overtime win over the Portland Trail Blazers, avoiding a winless homestand. Daniel Gafford scored a season-high 20 points despite an ankle injury, contributing key free throws, a block, and a basket in overtime to spark a decisive 6-0 run. P.J. Washington and Cooper Flagg each added 21 points, while Dallas reserves combined for 40. Portland’s Shaedon Sharpe scored 36 points and six assists, Deni Avdija had 29 before fouling out, and Jerami Grant added 26. The Blazers’ bench managed just 15 points, and they lost without Jrue Holiday, who sat out due to a sore calf. Portland dropped its fifth straight road game on a five-game trip.
