After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Rockets 128-110. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
