The Dallas Mavericks picked up a rousing 100-93 win against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Last postseason, the Miami Heat were walloped in historical fashion to the Cleveland Cavaliers, getting mercifully swept with 37- and 55-point defeats in the final two games. 11 months later, the Cavaliers created an eerily similar feeling — or at least it felt like it. Inside Rocket Center, they crushed the Miami Heat, 149-128, roughly […] The post Cavaliers embarrass Heat with 149-128 win appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Portland Trail Blazers were all ready to continue their triumphant homestand against lottery-bound teams on Friday night, taking on the Dallas Mavericks in the friendly confines of the Moda Center.

Now THIS is how I like the Utah Jazz to lose basketball games; have the lead most of the game, find success with defense and energy, and barely lose at the very end when the other team finally remembers that they’re going up against a bunch of G-Leaguers and rookies. The Jazz were the easier […]
