After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets took care of the Mavericks 105-95. Rockets torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
