After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Mavericks 127-79. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · 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 · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
