After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks edged the Rockets 99-92. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Rockets. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
