After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Trail Blazers 133-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
