After Action Report
The Trail Blazers upended the Mavericks 131-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
