DALLAS — The Portland Trail Blazers’ rough five-game trip ended with another dose of heartbreak.

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Blazers 138-134 Sunday night in overtime at America Airlines Center, riding hot second-half shooting and a clutch finish to end a three-game losing streak in Dallas.

The loss, which came two days after their most lopsided defeat of the season and an impromptu players-only meeting, sent the Blazers to their lowest point of 2025. Portland has dropped five of its last seven games, which included a 1-4 stumble on a trip that included multiple down-to-the-wire finishes.

It was another close and hard-to-swallow defeat Sunday for the shorthanded Blazers, who led 129-128 with less than two minutes remaining in overtime before crumbling down the stretch.
