The Dallas Mavericks came into tonight’s game (27-39) losers of four straight looking to knock of the Houston Rockets (41-25) winners of seven straight. The Rockets never were able to flex their muscles on the inferior Mavericks, largely because of James Harden’s foul trouble. The Mavericks were also able to stay in the game with some tough, gritty defense, even though they failed to shoot the ball well from deep. Dallas was led by Luka Doncic’s 19 points and Jalen Brunson’s 18 points, but Eric Gordon’s 26 points were enough to push Houston over the top, 94-93.
