After Action Report
In Dallas, the Rockets survived the Mavericks 107-104. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
