After Action Report

The Mavericks survived the Rockets 107-103. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
