After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Mavericks 125-99. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
