Although the Mavericks are missing two key players, Doncic and Irving, that hasn't changed the basic pattern of the game.
Under-warm-up start: Inside advantage leads to lead

Entering the second quarter, the Rockets went on a 10-0 run to pull the score away. The Mavericks' offense was lacklustre and they had to rely on the Rockets' turnovers to score.
The Rockets are in full swing: control the situation on the court
