After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Rockets 116-105. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
