After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 135-79. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
