After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Mavericks 98-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
