After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks survived the Rockets 116-115. Mavericks torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
