After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Mavericks 112-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them.

- Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
