After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Mavericks 117-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
