Portland Trail Blazers vs Dallas Mavericks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 16, 2025

Portland arrived in Dallas as the higher-octane offense of late—averaging 119.4 points per game over its last ten—but the Mavericks' recent defensive struggles (allowing 113.4 per game) promised a potentially wide-open affair. What unfolded was a back-and-forth marathon that required overtime to settle, with the Blazers' firepower nearly enough to overcome a Dallas squad that found just enough down the stretch.

The first quarter exploded for 66 combined points, the game's highest-scoring period, with Portland jumping out to an early advantage behind Shaedon Sharpe's 36-point performance. Deni Avdija added 29 points and 7 assists, while Jerami Grant chipped in 26 to drive Portland's attack. Dallas countered through Cooper Flagg (21 pts, 8 reb, 5 ast), P.J. Washington (21 pts, 7 reb), and Daniel Gafford (20 pts, 6 reb), but the second quarter halted the pace considerably—just 52 combined points as defenses tightened. The third quarter rebounded to 58 combined points, and the fourth stayed steady at 60, forcing the issue into overtime. There, Dallas outscored Portland 20–15 in the extra period to escape with a 138–133 victory, pushing the combined total to 271. The game lived up to Portland's recent offensive profile early but ground into a tighter contest as the night wore on, with Dallas's resilience ultimately prevailing in the fifth quarter.
