After Action Report
In Dallas, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Mavericks 129-126. Trail Blazers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
