After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Mavericks 133-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
