After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Rockets 105-100. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
