After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks buried the Trail Blazers 120-94. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
