The Dallas Mavericks dropped a heartbreaker against the Portland Trail Blazers on Oct. 27. Kristaps Porzingis had 32 points, and Luka Doncic chipped in 29, but it was not enough as the Blazers left Dallas with a 121-119 victory.
A late coach’s challenge that overturned a foul called on Damian Lillard was the talking point after the game. That and the loss hid may positives from the Mavs. Doncic shot poorly, and yet Dallas had every chance to win against a team that made the Western Conference finals last season
Record breaking
Porzingis looks like he’s getting back into top form.
