DALLAS (AP) — 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.
Dallas led 130-129 with 1:39 remaining when Flagg grabbed the rebound of a missed 3-pointer by Portland’s Shaedon Sharpe and delivered an outlet pass to Washington for a jam during a 6-0 Dallas run.
Daniel Gafford added 20 points, including seven in overtime, and was one of seven Mavericks who scored in double figures.

It may seem annoying to keep banging the drum like Todd Rundgren, but the Seattle Seahawks have a turnover problem.
After Sam Darnold’s four interceptions in a 21-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks are the NFL’s undisputed leaders in turnovers committed.
Their -7 turnover differential is tied for fourth-worst. The four teams with equal or worse turnover differentials all have losing records. Darnold fired away into coverage and threw Seattle’s 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th giveaways on the year.
Sam Darnold had a disastrous Sunday for the Seattle Seahawks while throwing four interceptions in a high-stakes loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
The effort tanked long-shot MVP chatter for the former first-round castoff, who’d previously revived his career for a second straight year after making his first Pro Bowl with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024.
It also recalled another high-stakes meltdown in which Darnold committed two turnovers and took nine sacks while running an ineffective offense in last season’s 27-9 playoff loss to the Rams.
