After Action Report

The Mavericks survived the Trail Blazers 119-115. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
