After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Rockets 115-75. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
