After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Mavericks 108-106. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
