After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Mavericks 112-110. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
