After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Rockets 104-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
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.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
