After Action Report
The Mavericks rolled past the Rockets 118-73. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
