After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Mavericks 98-96. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
