After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks ran roughshod over the Rockets 122-95. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Rockets. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
