After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Trail Blazers 90-78. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
