Houston grabbed 13 more rebounds than the Mavericks did in their 108-102 victory.
In their Halloween night loss to the Houston Rockets, things got scary for Dallas on the boards, as Houston consistently attacked the glass with much more ferocity, resulting in a -13 rebounding margin for the Mavericks. Not only this, but the Mavericks also allowed the Rockets to get easy looks on drives throughout the game, failing to protect the paint at a high level.
Dallas looked tired from the start, lacking energy in the first half, after which they trailed by 13 points. After losing the third quarter as well, they faced a 16-point deficit entering the final period. Though they nearly climbed out of the hole thanks to some hot shooting and a better defensive effort, they still fell short to their in-state rivals, losing 108-102.Of all of the problems displayed in this game, none stuck out more than the aforementioned problems on the defensive glass.
Considering the Mavericks had to play five games in eight days, culminating in this loss, a bit of a letdown was probably going to be inevitable at some point. They will have Friday and Saturday to rest before playing against the Orlando Magic, who are down, on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully, these two days can be a refresher for a team that needs to come out strong, even against an Orlando squad without its best player.
