After Action Report
In Dallas, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Mavericks 119-102. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
