After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Trail Blazers 118-85. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
