After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Mavericks 107-102. Trail Blazers torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
