Mavs rally past Blazers in overtime


Mavericks 111, Trail Blazers 101 (OT)

Dirk Nowitzki drained the game-tying three-pointer late in regulation and scored a game-high 25 points to lead the Dallas Mavericks to an improbable 111-101 overtime victory against the Portland Trail Blazers.

All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge and point guard Damian Lillard appeared to have Portland primed to pick up a rare road win against a playoff team but the Blazers squandered an 11-point lead in the final two minutes of regulation.
