After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Rockets 127-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
