After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Rockets 122-91. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
