After Action Report
The Mavericks held off the Trail Blazers 106-100. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
