After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Mavericks 136-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
