After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Mavericks 127-103. Rockets torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
