After Action Report
The Mavericks held off the Rockets 112-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
