After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks survived the Rockets 100-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
