After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Mavericks 91-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
