After Action Report
In Portland, the Mavericks snuck past the Trail Blazers 129-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
