After Action Report

The Mavericks squeaked past the Rockets 107-102. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
