After Action Report
In Houston, the Mavericks outlasted the Rockets 107-100. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
