After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Mavericks 131-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
