After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Mavericks 116-80. The better team simply showed up tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
