HOUSTON – Tori Eason and Jalen Green combined for 53 points, and the Houston Rockets went on to beat the injury-riddled Dallas Mavericks, 133-96, Friday night at the Toyota Center in yet another game where a member of the Mavs was injured.
Brandon Williams (15 points, five rebounds), Naji Marshall (21 points, five rebounds) and Spencer Dinwiddie (20 points) led the Mavs, who dropped to 33-35 entering Sunday’s 12-noon game at home against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Rockets, meanwhile, won their fifth straight game and improved to 42-25.
“He was great,” Mavs coach Jason Kidd said in praising Williams.
