After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Mavericks 128-98. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
