After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Trail Blazers 91-90. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
