After Action Report
In Portland, the Mavericks snuck past the Trail Blazers 105-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
