After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Mavericks 135-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · 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.
