After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Mavericks 105-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
