After Action Report

In Houston, the Mavericks buried the Rockets 124-95. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Rockets. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
