After Action Report

In Portland, the Mavericks handled the Trail Blazers 128-116. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
