After Action Report

The Mavericks buried the Trail Blazers 113-86. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
