After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Mavericks 119-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
