After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Trail Blazers 134-113. Mavericks torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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.
