After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Trail Blazers 109-104. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
