After Action Report

The Rockets squeaked past the Mavericks 115-110. Rockets' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
