After Action Report
The Mavericks edged the Trail Blazers 106-98. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
