What the Dallas Mavericks did in defeating the Houston Rockets on Friday night at the Toyota Center could
About 48 hours after getting pummeled at home by the New York Knicks by 30 points, the Mavs put that horrible loss in their rearview mirror and went out and hammered the Rockets, 113-100, in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated. In winning for the 12th time in their last 15 games, the Mavs (41-26) led by as much as 29 points late in the third quarter before coasting to the finish line while displaying their dominance over their Interstate-45 rivals.
