After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers demolished the Mavericks 115-86. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
