After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks took care of the Trail Blazers 99-89. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
