After Action Report
In Dallas, the Rockets upended the Mavericks 129-110. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
