After Action Report

The Mavericks rolled past the Trail Blazers 119-78. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
