After Action Report

The Mavericks pulled away from the Trail Blazers 125-112. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
