After Action Report
In Houston, the Mavericks fended off the Rockets 116-107. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
