After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Mavericks 115-104. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
