After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Mavericks 96-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
