On this episode, Dalton Trigg recaps the Dallas Mavericks' 125-112 road win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Aside from all the good stuff that happened, including Dante Exum's 23/6/7 performance with just one turnover, the Mavs had a scare, as Dwight Powell fell on top of Kyrie Irving's foot in the second quarter, and the star point guard had to leave the game. The Mavs dodged a bullet, as the injury was revealed as being just a heel contusion, but our recent DallasBasketball.com conversation with InStreetClothes.com's Jeff Stotts has us thinking Irving will miss more games than what most players miss on average with this particular injury. Also, what's going on with Maxi Kleber's pinky toe? He's about to miss his 17th game of the season out of 22 games overall.
