After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Mavericks 125-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
