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.
