After Action Report
In Dallas, the Trail Blazers demolished the Mavericks 105-77. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
