After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Trail Blazers 122-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
