After Action Report
In Portland, the Mavericks fended off the Trail Blazers 107-100. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
