After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks edged the Trail Blazers 104-97. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
