After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Mavericks 116-112. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
