DALLAS -- Dirk Nowitzki says he wasnt thinking about the last time the Dallas Mavericks blew a 30-point lead and lost. The biggest collapse in franchise history was a long time ago, and he was too busy trying to make sure it didnt happen again. Nowitzki scored 22 points, Devin Harris hit the go-ahead shot in the final minute and the Mavericks rallied in the fourth quarter after blowing their huge first-half lead, beating the Portland Trail Blazers 103-98 Friday night. "Youre just out there battling," Nowitzki said. "Theyre a very, very good team. They came back a lot quicker than we wanted it to be, but we kept fighting and got the win." LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 30 for Portland, including 18 in the third quarter when the Blazers went in front for the first time at 69-67 after trailing 44-14 early in the second quarter. But Nowitzki didnt pause to remember Dec. 6, 2002, when the Mavericks lost at the Los Angeles Lakers 105-103 after leading 66-36 early in the third quarter. Rick Carlisle wasnt dwelling on the blown lead either. "How many whatever-point leads have we blown this year?" the Dallas coach said. "Theres been tons of them. Weve got to work to prevent it. Theres no harder way to do it than what happened tonight." The score was tied 98-all when Aldridge missed a shot from the lane and Harris won the scramble for the rebound. He dribbled the length of the floor and hit a leaning shot on the baseline and was fouled by Damian Lillard with 24 seconds left. "He busted my mouth open, so I knew I wasnt all the way in front of him," Lillard said. "But I figured since that was the second time that he dipped his head into my face, I figured they would call offensive foul. We still had a couple opportunities after that that we didnt take advantage of." After Harris free throw put Dallas up by three, Aldridges pass went over Lillards head out of bounds. Monta Ellis missed two free throws, but Vince Carter slipped between a pair of Portland players for the offensive rebound and was fouled. Carter made both free throws, and Ellis had a steal to seal a wild win that snapped the Mavericks season-high three-game losing streak. "I had some big miscues down the stretch," said Aldridge, who had 17 rebounds. "I missed some shots down the stretch. Fighting all the way back, being up and having the opportunity to win and not taking care of business." Dallas took its first 30-point lead at 40-10 on Brandan Wrights alley-oop dunk from Ellis early in the second quarter, one of many easy breakaway baskets early. Thomas Robinson had six points on a 12-1 run that started Portlands comeback, getting the Blazers within 19. That was Dallas margin to begin the third quarter, when Aldridge took over, scoring six straight early in the period and another six straight later. The Blazers, who led by 38 in a blowout win over the Mavericks the last time they were in Dallas in January, wiped out the last of the deficit on a 3-pointer by Wesley Matthews to knot it 67-all with 4:02 left in the third. The Blazers went ahead for the first time at 69-67 on a putback by Aldridge. "It was unbelievable," Wright said. "We got outscored by I dont know how much after that first quarter being up 40-10. They went on a heck of a run, but all its going to say in the paper tomorrow is that we got the W." The lead changed hands three more times late in the third, setting up a back-and-forth battle in the fourth. Portland pushed out to an 85-78 lead on another 3 from Matthews, who had 26 points, and a jumper from Mo Williams, but Harris hit a 3-pointer to finish an 8-0 Dallas run for a 90-89 lead. The Blazers went back up 98-92 on an alley-oop dunk by Aldridge, but Dallas pulled even when Sam Dalembert stole the ball from Lillard and tossed to Ellis for a breakaway layup. Jose Calderon had 19 for Dallas, including 15 in the first quarter. Ellis had 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Nowitzki had six assists and five rebounds. Harris finished with 12 points.

As part of the promotion of the exhibition game, organizers selected a member of the Quebec Lacrosse Federation to play in the game. Trevor Wagar, a player with Vermont in the Quebec Senior B Lacrosse League, was chosen to play for the Rock. After Brandon Benn spotted the Rock a 1-0 lead on the powerplay, Wagar bounced a shot by Rochester starter Matt Vinc to bring the crowd at the Bell Centre to their feet. Benn tallied his second of the quarter, following a Rochester goal to give the Rock a 3-1 edge. Toronto’s Rob Marshall took a major penalty for an illegal crosscheck that put the Rock down a man for the remainder of the opening 15 minutes. Cory Vitarelli took advantage on the powerplay with just 0.6 seconds remaining to close the gap to one goal, 3-2. “It was pretty exciting, I didn’t expect it to come that early,” said Wagar of his goal just over 8 minutes into the game. “I think after halfway through the warmup, I was feeling it. I have played this game for 27 years and I hope I showed something. I feel I can play at this level. It just felt like lacrosse out there, good and fast.” With the Knighthawks still on the powerplay to begin the second quarter, Craig Point tallied to tie the game 3-3. The Rock went on a four-goal run, all at even strength to surge ahead 7-3. Rochester was able to come up for air with Vitarelli’s second of the game, but it wasn’t for long as Wagar notched his second of the game followed by goals from Scott Johnston and Brett Hickey to lead 10-4. Gavin Prout scored a late shorthanded marker, making the score 10-5 at the half in favour of the Rock. The first half wasn’t without its share of venom. Rock rookie Jordan Robertson was the recipient of a crosscheck above the shoulders from Knighthawk Jean-Guy Thouin, who was ejected from the game after receiving a major penalty and a game misconduct. Thouin was the local player selected to play for Rochester. Robertson left the game annd did not return.dddddddddddd “We don’t want to get involved in coming to teammates aid in the offensive end and I don’t think you can make a distinction,” Rock head coach John Lovell said of Rob Hellyer who was the first on the scene after the high hit. “We are going to be a team in every sense of it. I liked what I saw from our team in those situations.” Brandon Miller continued his strong play in the third quarter, slamming the door for 15 minutes on the Knighthawks offence. Toronto got goals from Kasey Beirnes, Benn (his 3rd) and Brodie Merrill to lead 13-5 after three quarters. The Rock scored twice, sandwiched between a pair of Rochester goals to lead 15-7 just past the midway point of the fourth quarter. A Paul Dawson major penalty late in the game put the Rock on the powerplay for nearly the final five minutes of the contest, however Toronto was unable to score. “I thought we were a pretty good package here today,” said Lovell. “We don’t get any points for this, but it was a good team building game.” Rock goal scorers: Benn 3, Wagar 2, Beirnes 2, Ross 2, Sanderson, Merrill, Robertson, Brett Hickey, Rob Hellyer, Scott Johnston. Miller went the distance the Rock, making 32 saves on 39 shots. Rochester’s Matt Vinc allowed 10 Rock goals on 24 shots in his 30 minutes of work. Angus Goodleaf played the second half, surrendering 5 goals on 20 shots. “We made some changes to how we want to play defence, it was more of a face up approach and a supportive group,” said Lovell. The Rock still have one more exhibition game on the schedule. Saturday, December 20th, the New England Black Wolves will be the opponent at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville, Ontario.
