After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 133-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
