After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Mavericks 115-100. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
