After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Rockets 112-108. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
