Rocky means nothing at such scales, they basically behave as viscous liquid. Also, temperatures don't matter much since the contact area would receive as heat all of the kinetic energy of thousands of cubic kilometers of rock coming to a stop.

Also things are porous and compressible such that low speed collisions (if indeed that's what happened) can result in compaction+sticking rather than bouncing.
