After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks handled the Trail Blazers 123-113. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
