After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets demolished the Mavericks 127-100. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
