After Action Report
The Mavericks downed the Rockets 127-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
