After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Mavericks 99-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
