After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers squeaked past the Mavericks 105-102. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
