After Action Report
In Portland, the Mavericks took care of the Trail Blazers 116-104. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
