PORTLAND, Ore. Nike Free Run Damen Weiß. -- Those beards arent coming off yet. Chris Kaman scored a season-high 26 points and the unshaven Dallas Mavericks boosted their faint playoff hopes with a 96-91 victory over the slumping Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night. Kaman added 11 rebounds for the Mavericks, who were 2 1/2 games back of Utah for the eighth and final spot in the Western Conference, and two games behind the Lakers. Dallas (38-39) has just five games left, but four of those are at home. Led by veteran Dirk Nowitzki, a handful of the Mavs have been growing out their beards since early February, vowing not to shave until they reach .500 and make the playoffs. Kaman is among them. "Im not sure how excited everyone else is about it because I dont think they like how it looks," he said. "But Im not really thinking about it because its important for us to finish the season on a good note and we have the next five games to do that." The Mavs led by as many as 26 points, but the Blazers closed the gap in the fourth quarter -- even after sitting most of their starters.

Mayo and Shawn Marion had consecutive baskets to slow Portlands momentum, but Eric Maynors layup and a pair of free throws got the Blazers within 94-91 with 39 seconds left. After Mayo missed a 3-pointer on the other end, Lillards attempted layup with 6.9 seconds to go didnt fall. Marion scored at the buzzer for the final margin. "Were one of those teams that lets other teams back in so it was kind of frustrating, but were lucky there wasnt much time left on the clock because I think it might have been a different game," Kaman said. Bartons breakout performance had the Blazers in an upbeat mood following the game, despite the loss. Barton had 18 points and 11 rebounds in the second half alone. "Yeah Willie B! Yeah Willie B!" two-time All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge shouted a cross the locker room. "What did you eat today?" Barton, who was a second-round pick by the Blazers out of Memphis, was brimming with confidence. "Everyone on the team says Ive got a special talent," he said. "Youve just got to wait your turn sometimes." Portland was without starting forward Nicolas Batum for the third straight game because of a sore right shoulder. Victor Claver started in his place. Elton Brand missed his third straight game for the Mavericks with a sore right calf. The Mavs went up 13-3 early and Kaman took over with 12 points in the opening six minutes alone. His short jumper late in the second quarter gave Dallas a 46-24 lead. The Blazers were stung when guard Wesley Matthews was helped off the court with a right ankle injury with 8:27 left in the second quarter.

The three-year NBA veteran was averaging 15 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists going into the game. The Mavericks led 56-32 at the break. Dallas extended the lead to 79-53 late in the third quarter after Vince Carters 3-pointer. With an 81-61 Dallas lead going into the final quarter, Portland rested its starters except for Lillard, a five-time rookie of the month. The young group narrowed the Mavs lead to 86-72 after Maynors long jumper with 7:37 left. Barton got alley-oops from Maynor for back-to-back dunks, making it 86-76. The Blazers re-inserted some of their starters, including Aldridge, for the final push but came up short. As for his beard, Kaman said hes thinking about keeping it. "I dont care its a lot of work. I just let it go," he said. "Its like a Chia Pet." Notes: Should they stumble, it would be the first time since 2000 that the Mavericks miss the playoffs. ...

That made it tough on the Orlando Magic, who were handed their ninth straight loss in Portlands 125-119 overtime victory on Monday night. The Blazers have won all five of their games that have gone into extra periods this season. LaMarcus Aldridge led the Blazers with 27 points and 10 rebounds, and Matthews finished with 24 points -- including a dunk that all but sealed it with less than a minute left. Both teams were clearly exhausted by the end. "Its alright. Well take it," Matthews said. "For whatever reason, this team is built for overtime. Id rather not go into it, Id rather win it in regulation. But we dug deep." J.J. Hickson added 20 points and 15 rebounds for his 20th double-double this season for the Blazers, who have won three straight overall and 11 of their last 14 games. It was Portlands eighth straight win at the Rose Garden. Nicolas Batum, who finished with 16 points and 10 assists, said Portlands OT successes are a credit to how well the players have come to know each other. "The way we play in overtime, we stay focused. We talk," Batum said. "We just stay together." Aldridge hit a layup and a free throw that put Portland ahead 112-108 with 3:38 in overtime. After the Magic tied it at 112 on J.J. Redicks hook shot, Blazers rookie Damian Lillard made a pull-up jumper to reclaim the lead. Lillard added a floater to extend it and Hickson had a fast-break dunk for a 118-112 lead. Matthews punctuated the run with his dunk with 54.9 seconds left and Portland cruised the rest of the way. Redick led the Magic with 29 points, while Arron Afflalo had 24. Nikola Vucevic had 17 points and 13 rebounds. Orlando held a slim 97-95 lead but Matthews hit a 3-pointer that put Portland ahead and Batum padded it with his own 3 with 3:01 left in regulation. Jameer Nelsons rainbow 3-pointer kept the pressure on the Blazers, but Batum hit another 3-pointer to make it 106-101 with 1:14 to go. Nelson made a pair of free throws and Vucevic added a jumper to close the Magic to 106-105. After Batum hit two foul shots with 16.8 seconds left, Nelson nailed a 3-pointer with 8.9 seconds left that tied it at 108 and sent the game into overtime. "The games were losing, were in all of them," Nelson said. "Theyre close games and hard fought but we just keep coming up short." It was the opening of a four-ggame road trip for Orlando, which has been mired in injuries along with its losses. Nike Free Run Herren The team was again without power forward Glen Davis, who dislocated his left shoulder on Dec. 19 against Washington and has missed nine games. The Magic have not won a game without him. It was hoped that he may return at some points during the trip. Point guard ETwaun Moore missed his fifth game with a left elbow sprain. Reserve centre Gustavo Ayon was not with the team because of a right thigh contusion. "Our effort was unbelievable," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "We didnt get the win but at the end of the day we put in the work. Tough loss, but our guys did some amazing things tonight. They deserved to win that game." Blazers rookie centre Meyers Leonard missed his fifth game with an injured right ankle. The Magic went up 19-12 in the first quarter after Andrew Nicholsons dunk. But Aldridge made a 7-foot jumper and Matthews added a 3-pointer to narrow it, and Aldridges turnaround jumper tied it a 21. Victor Clavers pull-up jumper gave Portland a 25-24 lead going into the second quarter. Aldridge had 12 points in the first quarter alone. But the Blazers had trouble maintaining any kind of lead throughout the game. After going up 46-43 with 4:03 left in the half, Orlandos Josh McRoberts hit a 3-pointer that touched off a 14-2 Magic run. Afflalo capped it with a layup that gave Orlando a 57-48 lead at the break. Aldridges layup with 4:53 left in the third that gave Portland a 71-70 lead. Matthews extended it with a layup. But again, it was short-lived.

Afflalo kept the Blazers at bay with a layup and Nelson added a pair of free throws for the Magic. Aldridge said the Blazers have developed a toughness. "We dont get rattled," he said. "We know that if we keep playing defence and we stay the course we can win some games." NOTES: The Blazers assigned guards Will Barton and Nolan Smith to their D-League affiliate, the Idaho Stampede. ... Orlandos Jameer Nelson had 12 assists, surpassing Scott Skiles as the Magics all-time assists leader with 2,787. "Its great," Nelson said. "I just wish I could enjoy it more with a win." ...
