After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks took care of the Trail Blazers 120-106. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
