After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Rockets 126-112. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
