After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the Rockets 108-96. Mavericks torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
