After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks rolled past the Rockets 129-109. Mavericks torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
