After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks pulled away from the Rockets 106-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
