After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Mavericks 124-88. Trail Blazers torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
