After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Mavericks 126-91. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
