After Action Report
The Mavericks fended off the Trail Blazers 109-100. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
