After Action Report

The Mavericks handled the Trail Blazers 110-97. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks steamroller is in full effect right now; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
