After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Mavericks 102-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
