After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers buried the Mavericks 153-115. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
