The Trail Blazers outlasted the Mavericks 106-97. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
