Mavericks Continue Winning Streak with Victory Over Rockets

The Dallas Mavericks secured a solid 122-109 victory against the Houston Rockets at home, showcasing remarkable performances from Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg. This win marks the Mavericks' fourth victory in their last five games, improving their overall record to 9-16.

In a standout performance, Davis led the Mavericks with 29 points and eight rebounds, shooting an impressive 14-of-19 from the field. His determination was evident after a subpar outing against the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he managed only two points. Flagg contributed significantly as well, tallying 19 points, alongside five rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. Off the bench, Brandon Williams added an important 20 points to help secure the victory.
