After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets took care of the Mavericks 109-98. Rockets torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
