After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 108-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
