Led by All-Star PF LaMarcus Aldridge (29 pts 13 rebs) and NBA Comeback Players of the Year Candidate JJ Hickson (26 pts 15 rebs) the Mavs couldn't make a Play in the End to win the Game as the Mavs are chasing Rip City for the #8 Spot in the West. Rarely do you see a Team in the Logo give up 50% plus Fg and 50% plus from the Arc and win and that's just what the Blazers did tonight vs Mavs.
The Mavs get 26 from @Swish41 and a Nice Game from their Back Court of Collison (17 pts 9 helpers) and Mayo (15 pts 9 helpers) but still couldn't close out the Blazers. Both Teams Benches are weak and it showed in this one as the Mavs Bench scored 24 points while Rip City's Bench scored 14 points. When the Mavs don't get a Big Night from Back Up SF Vince Carter the Mavs Bench suffers. Mavs need a Trading Deadline Deal but at what cost and will it make a difference being in 11th Place in the West as we go to Press. Meanwhile the Blazers get 17 from Matthews Jr. and 10 apiece from Batum and Lillard.
Rip City stays in the #9 Hole in the Wset and the Mavs stay at the #11 hole.
