DALLAS (AP) \u2014 P.J. Washington Jr. and Cooper Flagg scored 21 points apiece and teamed up on a crucial basket late in overtime to help the Dallas Mavericks to a 138-133 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Dallas led 130-129 with 1:39 remaining when Flagg grabbed the rebound of a missed 3-pointer by Portland\u2019s Shaedon Sharpe and delivered an outlet pass to Washington for a jam during a 6-0 Dallas run.<\/p>\n
Daniel Gafford added 20 points, including seven in overtime, and was one of seven Mavericks who scored in double figures. Dallas (4-10) snapped a three-game skid with the win.<\/p>\n
Sharpe scored a season-high 36 points for the Trail Blazers (6-7), who have lost four of their last five games. Deni Avdija scored 29 before fouling out with 1:39 left on the play that resulted in Gafford hitting two free throws and putting Dallas ahead for good at 130-129.<\/p>\n
Portland\u2019s Jerami Grant scored 26 points in his first start this season in place of Jrue Holiday, who sat out with right calf soreness.<\/p>\n
Dallas hit all seven of its field-goal attempts in overtime, all 2-pointers.<\/p>\n
The Trail Blazers matched a season high by grabbing 22 offensive rebounds, seven by Donovan Clingan (11 total rebounds), resulting in a 32-10 advantage in second-chance points.<\/p>\n
The Mavericks\u2019 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 in which Dallas sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and has missed 31 of a possible 47 games with the Mavs.<\/p>\n
Davis\u2019 bench attire was the jersey of Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who beat the Dallas Cowboys 48-32 in the 2023-24 NFL wild-card playoffs.<\/p>\n
