After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Mavericks 112-111. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
