After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Mavericks 95-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
