After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks squeaked past the Trail Blazers 114-113. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
