The Dallas Mavericks improved to 11-6 on the year, defeating the Houston Rockets at home Tuesday night, 121-115. Luka Doncic scored 41 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and dished out nine assists to lead Dallas. Alpern Sengun led the Rockets in defeat with 31.
A change to the starting lineup for the Dallas Mavericks may have helped spurn one of their better defensive starts so far in the regular season. Houston did their part by missing all of their shots and at one point the Mavericks led by as many as 12 before the Rockets bench helped bring them back into the game.
