April 23, 2011 - 8:05 PM ET

Dirk Nowitzki scored 20 points and Shawn Marion added 12 points and 11 boards as the Mavericks blew a 23-point lead to fall to the Blazers in a thriller on Saturday.

The Mavs head back to Dallas tied 2-2, but really let one get away today, getting outscored 43-18 down the stretch while watching Brandon Roy look like the player he was two years ago.
