After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Mavericks 106-104. Rockets' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
