After Action Report
In Dallas, the Rockets snuck past the Mavericks 114-113. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
