After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Mavericks 131-127. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
