After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Trail Blazers 117-103. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
