After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Mavericks 105-102. Rockets torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
