After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Rockets 123-106. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
