After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers outlasted the Mavericks 100-92. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
