PORTLAND, Ore. — Marvin Bagley III scored a season-high 26 points on 11-of-14 shooting, Cooper Flagg poured in 20 first-half points, and the Dallas Mavericks finally won one of the close ones, beating the Portland Trail Blazers 100-93 on Friday night at Moda Center to snap a five-game losing streak....

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Dallas Mavericks arrive at Moda Center on Friday night having lost five straight. The Portland Trail Blazers arrive having won five of their last six. The timing could not be worse for Dallas. Portland has climbed back to .500 at 37-37, clinching a postseason berth for...

Jason Kidd had a problem heading into Sunday's rematch against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Daniel Gafford was resting, Dereck Lively II was out for the season, and the Dallas Mavericks had just been physically dominated at home two nights earlier. His solution was unconventional, starting 6-foot-7 P.J. Washington at center, but it was...

Jason Kidd called it a character check. His team passed. Less than 48 hours after being blown out at home by 33 points, the Dallas Mavericks walked into Rocket Arena on Sunday afternoon and handed the Cleveland Cavaliers a 130-120 defeat that looked nothing like what happened Friday at American...
