After Action Report
In Dallas, the Trail Blazers survived the Mavericks 101-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
