After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Mavericks 121-117. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
