After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Rockets 108-105. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
