The Dallas Mavericks lost 101-92 to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday evening. The Mavericks were without all everything superstar Luka Doncic as Doncic was resting after the Mavericks played a game which was much closer than it needed to be against the Los Angeles Clippers the night before. Without their leader, and with their remaining players also nursing tired legs, the Mavericks played perhaps their worst game of the season.
Spencer Dinwiddie played 41 minutes against the Clippers, and it was obvious he did not have his legs. Facu Campazzo got his first extended run of the season and provided a spark of energy early.
