After Action Report
The Rockets downed the Mavericks 119-100. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
