After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Mavericks 126-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
