After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Rockets 104-82. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
