The team took a few games to settle for the trade. They really needed a win this big to grab some positivity. Youngsters at Houston need to perform. And so the need was fulfilled by David Nwaba and Mason Jones who really got going. Mavericks were really down. Luka Doncic tried his level best but could not edge it past. The Houston Rockets took a big lead earlier and did not allow their opponents surpassing it. Especially in the quarter as they played tight defense.

Luka Doncic seemed pissed after the game. His 26-point contribution was in vain. The most awaited win has finally come at Houston franchise. The players will be looking forward to get their chemistry together and pull off the playoffs.
