After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Rockets 104-94. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
