Even when Rockets are bad, they still beat the Dallas Mavericks

HOUSTON (AP) — John Wall had 31 points and seven assists in his return from injury, and the Houston Rockets snapped a five-game skid with a 102-93 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.

“We didn’t stop fighting," Wall said. “We made some big stops and we made some big shots."

Wall had missed the previous four games with swelling in his right knee. Christian Wood added 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets.

“It’s good to finally have my point guard back," Wood said. “John made my job easier. He was our X-factor in the fourth quarter.
