DALLAS -- O. Visanthe Shiancoe Jersey .J. Mayo is feeling right at home with the Dallas Mavericks. Mayo celebrated his 25th birthday with 32 points, his second consecutive 30-point home game to start the season, and the Mavericks used a fourth-quarter surge to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 114-91 on Monday night. Chris Kaman and Darren Collison are also fitting in with the Mavericks, who are still without injured star Dirk Nowitzki. Collison had his second consecutive double-double with 14 points, 13 assists and only one turnover. Kaman scored 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting. "In the off-season, the Mavericks lost some good players, but we also got some good players. I think some underrated players," Kaman said. "Some guys can really score the basketball on this team and are very creating, starting with Darren and O.J." Asked about the fast-paced Mavericks offence, which has shot at least 60 per cent from the field in consecutive games for the first time in team history, Mayo described it as organized street ball. "We have spots to fill, but we just continue moving," Mayo said. "Its kind of hard to guard. We dont do something constant or something you can scout. We pretty much ready the defence and work off that." Mayo made six 3-pointers and capped his night with a running dunk with 1:18 left. After shooting 7 for 22 in his first two Dallas games on the road, he is 22 of 35 at home with 13 3-pointers. The Trail Blazers, coached by Terry Stotts, a Mavericks assistant the past four seasons under Rick Carlisle, were within 85-83 with 10:17 left. But Kaman, who was 8-of-9 shooting in his Dallas debut Saturday after missing the first two games with a strained right calf, made a 17-foot jumper. That was the sixth consecutive shot he made Monday, and it started a game-ending 29-8 run. "Obviously, we didnt do a good enough job defensively. I think Dallas put on a flow clinic in the second half," said Stotts, who was the Mavs primary offensive coach. "The ball was moving, they were setting good screens. They made their shots, got to the rim." LaMarcus Aldridge, a Dallas native, and Wesley Matthews had 20 points each for Portland. Nicholas Batum had 14 points, while J.J. Hickson grabbed 11 rebounds. Rookie point guard Damian Lillard had 13 points and five assists in his fourth NBA game. He had two quick fouls and missed extending some historic achievements. Lillard had matched Geoff Petrie as the only players in Blazers history to score 20 or more points in his first three games. He had joined Oscar Robertson as the only players in NBA history with at least 20 points and seven assists in his first three career games. Mayo hit 3-pointers from the right wing and then the left wing in the third quarter. He hit another from long range to put Dallas up 70-67 with 5 1/2 minutes left in the period, breaking the only tie of the second half. After Sasha Pavlovic beat the shot-clock buzzer with a 3-pointer to get Portland within 75-73, Collison passed to Vince Carter for a 3-pointer. Mayo added another 3 before the end of the third to stretch the lead to 83-77. Mayo scored seven points in the first 5 minutes of the game and had 12 of the Mavericks first 22 as they built an early 10-point lead. "Hes one of the hardest workers on this team. Hes constantly shooting every day," Collison said. "That 3-point shot is like a mid-range shot to him. ... If he continues to shoot like that, were all going to have a very good season." Portland got even at 43 on two free throws by Lillard before Aldridges three-point play gave the Trail Blazers their first lead, 46-45, with 4:16 left in the first half. But Lillard shot only 2 of 13, including 1 of 8 on 3-pointers. "It was a tough night. I got some good looks, didnt make shots," Lillard said. "Thats pretty much it. I tried to stick with it. I got some early fouls and that took the rhythm out of it for me." Notes: Mavericks F Shawn Marion left in the third quarter with a strained knee. It didnt appear that the injury was serious. ... There was a moment of silence before the game in memory of ESPN radio announcer Jim Durham, who died last weekend at his home in Texas. Durham was the Mavericks television play-by-play man from 1993-2001. ... Another former Mavericks assistant coach brings his team to the American Airlines Center on Wednesday night. Dwane Casey is in his second season as Torontos head coach. Rob Gronkowski Super Bowl Jersey . Rodney will be making his Oilers debut after being acquired from the Carolina Hurricanes on Feb. in exchange for Ryan OMarra. Edmonton was in Los Angeles for a game against the Kings on Monday night. Vince Wilfork Pink Jersey . The incident occurred when Lewis and his older brother were locked out of their hotel room. Lewis was released after his arraignment and his brother was being held in Albany County jail without bail. http://www.usnflpatriots.com/vince-wilfork-jersey .ca takes a closer look at ten of the more interesting players to keep an eye out for. Some of the players like Josh Hamilton and Zack Greinke are on top of most free-agent lists, while others like Ryan Dempster and Melky Cabrera have some questions that will be answered as the market for their services continues to develop. Dan Connolly Jersey . He allowed five in 72 innings last year and one in his first 52 innings this season. But Belisle has yielded home runs in his past two appearances, including a particularly costly one Wednesday night when the Rockies lost 9-6 to the St. Stevan Ridley Elite Jersey .J. -- Sporting KC not only maintained first place in the Eastern Conference, it showed the New York Red Bulls they have a long way to go to be as good.(Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays send lefthander Aaron Laffey to the mound against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim today as they try to win for the third time in a row in the series finale. Laffey held Boston scoreless for six innings in his first start of the season on Tuesday. The southpaws strong performance earned him another starting nod, but his opponent today is not ideal. Laffey owns a career ERA of 8.22 in 15 1/3 innings against the Angels. His poor history against the Angels provides an opportunity for Laffey to demonstrate how far he has come. "Just coming up, helping the team out in the bullpen, Ive always done whatever the team needed me to do. But getting this opportunity is something Ive been waiting for a couple of years now," Laffey said. Third baseman Brett Lawrie will look to build on Saturdays spectacular performance. The rookie went 3-for-4 with a home run, double, and three RBI to lead the Blue Jays, who have scored 25 runs in the first three games of the series. Colby Rasmus, Jose Bautista and Kelly Johnson all knocked in a run for Toronto on Saturday. Bautista comes into Sunday leading the MLB with 26 home runs. The Blue Jays are second in the majors with 102 team home runs. Yunel Escobar has been clutch for Toronto in the series so far, going 5-for-12 at the plate with a double, home run, and team-best five RBI. Angels starter C.J. Wilson will try to extendd his winning streak to six games today. Wes Welker Jersey. Wilson has not been handed a losing decision since being defeated by the White Sox on May 17. The Angels ace has given up just one earned run or less in all but one of his seven starts since the loss to Chicago. The talented left- hander was in trouble on multiple occasions on Tuesday versus Baltimore, but he found his way out each time he was in a jam and only allowed one earned run in seven innings. The Angels never recovered after allowing seven runs in the second inning of Saturdays game. Toronto finished on top 11-2 to hand the visitors their first back-to-back losses since June 3-4. "It was a bad game," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said after his club dropped back-to-back games for the first time since June 3-4. "Were just going to turn the page on it." Mike Trout had his 11-game hitting streak snapped in defeat. Albert Pujols also failed to hit safely on Saturday after recording two consecutive multi- hit games. Trout, Pujols, and Mark Trumbo make up one of the offensive trios in baseball and will be looked upon to bounce back today. Despite their back-to-back losses, the Angels have won 14 of their last 17 games away from home. The Angels trail Texas by 6 1/2 games in the American League West standings. Toronto is in last place in the AL East standings with a 40-38 record, trailing the division-leading Yankees by 7 1/2 games. ' ' '
