After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Rockets 109-99. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
