After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Rockets 107-105. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
