After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets snuck past the Mavericks 109-105. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
