After Action Report
The Mavericks rolled past the Trail Blazers 130-77. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
