After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Mavericks 107-85. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.

- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
