After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Mavericks 137-114. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. 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.
