After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks buried the Trail Blazers 118-95. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
