After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Mavericks 111-103. Rockets' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
