After Action Report
In Portland, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 128-94. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
