Washington and Flagg power Mavericks to a 138-133 OT win over the Trail Blazers
DALLAS (AP) — P. J. Washington Jr. and Cooper Flagg each scored 21 points and teamed up on a crucial basket late in overtime to help the Dallas Mavericks secure a 138-133 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night.
Dallas led 130-129 with 1:39 remaining when Flagg grabbed the rebound of a missed 3-pointer by Portland’s Shaedon Sharpe and delivered an outlet pass to Washington for a powerful jam during a 6-0 Dallas run.
Daniel Gafford added 20 points, including seven in overtime, and was one of seven Mavericks who scored in double figures. With the win, Dallas (4-10) snapped a three-game losing streak.
Sharpe scored a season-high 36 points for the Trail Blazers (6-7), who have now lost four of their last five games. Deni Avdija contributed 29 points before fouling out with 1:39 left, on the play that led to Gafford hitting two free throws to put Dallas ahead for good at 130-129.
Portland’s Jerami Grant scored 26 points in his first start of the season, filling in for Jrue Holiday, who sat out due to right calf soreness.
Dallas was perfect from the field in overtime, making all seven of their attempts—all 2-pointers. The Trail Blazers matched a season high by grabbing 22 offensive rebounds, including seven by Donovan Clingan (who finished with 11 total rebounds), leading to a 32-10 advantage in second-chance points.
The Mavericks’ Anthony Davis missed his ninth consecutive game with a left calf strain. The team announced before the game that the 32-year-old, 10-time All-Star will be out at least another seven to 10 days. Davis has been sidelined by multiple injuries following the controversial Feb. 2 trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, causing him to miss 31 of a possible 47 games with Dallas.
Notably, Davis wore the jersey of Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love on the bench—a nod to Love’s recent 48-32 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in the 2023-24 NFL wild-card playoffs.
