After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Mavericks 92-85. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
