After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Trail Blazers 119-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
