The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Houston Rockets 113-100 Friday night in Houston. Luka Doncic led the Mavericks with 30 points, 14 rebounds, and six assists. Kevin Porter Jr. was the high point man for Houston with 17.
The Mavericks were clearly the more talented team and they took advantage of it. The Rockets had absolutely no answer for the Luka Doncic/Dwight Powell pick and roll. The Mavericks ran it early and often to great success.
The Rockets made the score much closer than the game actually was with some late window dressing. But make no mistake, the Mavericks absolutely dominated this game.
