After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Mavericks 131-100. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
