After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Trail Blazers 117-114. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
