After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Rockets 130-100. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
