After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Mavericks 119-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
