After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers buried the Mavericks 115-91. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
