After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Mavericks 138-104. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
