After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Mavericks 112-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
