After Action Report
In Dallas, the Trail Blazers buried the Mavericks 114-88. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
