After Action Report
In Dallas, the Trail Blazers demolished the Mavericks 150-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
