After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Trail Blazers 119-95. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
