After Action Report
The Trail Blazers edged the Mavericks 104-98. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
