After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 124-101. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
