Dallas Mavericks vs Houston Rockets Full Highlights 1st QTR | Mar 31 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

STS 10 of 11 wins for the Mavericks from Birmingham Alabama David Guthrie the crew chief tosses the jump ball Skyward it’s controlled by the Mavs and here we go what do you thinking har I’m thinking the fact that every player on each team is playing so well we’re in for a

Doozy well that sounds like a lot of fun Kyrie Irving first jumper of the game for Dallas Is On Target and Fred Van B is attacking one thing Jake kid pointed out is along with Jaylen green playing very well on the 11 game win streak they have to get back off misses because

They’re pushing the tempo van bleet pushed it up the floor they didn’t get a transition chance but they move it to a Jabari Smith three-pointer well they’ve been forced to play different shenon is out and that changed the whole entire Dynamic of this Houston Rockets approach foul in the back court

Committed by Gafford after Dallas missed the shots and then in the battle for the rebound Gafford picks up his first foul never like to see your bigs pick up an early foul especially like that don’t but think about his backup he’s got a really good backup

That is something we talked about in the last segment to the broadcast and yeah definitely a thing those two guys have clearly made a difference Jaylen green shooting against Derrik Jones Jr offensive rebound putb and fell perfectly for and Thompson Thompson zero college experience but clearly making a huge

Contribution with his OPP to foul on Derrik Jones Jr offensive foul there as well foul on the screen set Thompson has called for the foul or not not set on that screen as we see so often in this league that uh call came so quickly as

Luca puts up a contested shot that goes in you know your longtime teammate and Buddy Brad Davis sometimes calls fouls maybellin when he thinks that they’re makeups so I don’t know that one that would seemed kind of quick that call on Topson a minute ago and speaking of

Quick a Brooks three is missed quickly they go back and forth sometimes here we go Luca scored a moment ago takes it inside and it falls home again so when you guarding Luca you can’t just have one slide you got to be ready to slide back and forth a couple of times because

He’s going to get you with that second move and Thompson is doing a lot of things nicely as a rookie three-point shooting is not one of them he’s eight for 56 now on threes and it’s a foul PJ Washington jior running Jun in the game holler out of him a little bit before

The game too you know he wants to play well trying to get some uh vacation time on that island it’s green yeah down there in b as green gets all the way to the hole you got to force him to be a shooter Luca off Target on a three rebound is

Secured by Green yeah for those who don’t know down in bise Reggie B an island and is building a resort there looking to get down D yeah and Richie’s been in the rotation since shenon was injured Bullock’s been playing more than he has at any point in time this year Reggie’s averaging 12

Minutes a game over the last nine Jabari Smith junor he’s had a habit of playing well in the past against Dallas and it’s knocked down two3 so far as a big oh nice pass and finish that time Gaff from great hands soft touch off the window really good pass even better

Finish tipping home the lob Daniel Gafford good challenge that time by Kyrie defensive and the mid-range jumper is no good for Jabari Smith 13 points eight rebounds a game for him Corner three in and out for PJ Dereck Jones Jr tried to tip it home Houston heads the other way they lead

The Mavs by three about four minutes into the game pocket pass Smith is turned away by Gafford no call everybody’s looking like the the whistle blew it did not and here’s a drive Baseline and a step out of bound Derek Wiley’s in Dante exen has also gone in Cross for pass l

Good to PJ for an open three and we got ourselves a tie game look at the kind of shots that they’re getting because of all the attention on Luca just got to be locked and loaded ready to let it go Reggie bolock Jr on the drive and

Slapped Away by Derek lley Big Time block inside you could not have read The Scouting Report and then Luca takes it inside and shows off his strength to finish gives it a little Flex afterwards quick three Dylan Brooks almost boomerangs back to him but he couldn’t Coral

It Mavs in front for the first time and looking to extend that lead remember Luca was questionable and Jak kid said an hour and a half before the game harp that he was a game time decision we didn’t learn until about 30 minutes before game time if he was going

To be able to go well it’s game time and he is ready to go it’s game time and it’s Luca time plays through a lot of injuries night in and night out he hates to miss time and a game of this magnitude a couple of games later you

Clearly want to be playing your best ball right now season coming to a close the regular season that is and you’re moving towards the Playoffs and Luca is orchestrating the offense to Lively a dish to exom a crosscourt pass hard away and Lively couldn’t grab that aluk and that is an infrequent good contest there by Brooks now a wing three and that’s no good bolock Jr misses It to make him play defense as well PJ over Jaylen green on the post up and it’s booted out of bounds by Fred Van bit so it will stay down on this end for the Mavs with 445 left to the first naavs are going to have a winning

Record on the road this season they’re 22 and 14 in Road games including tonight five more remaining you know what I think is gotten lost in the sauce nice pass oh give and go another nice pass one and three on the money for ex all right what got lost to the sauce

You know just all of the injuries this year yeah you know this team team hadn’t been whole for a long time and now that they are you see a different team they’re playing extremely well because of that strong move yeah think about Kyrie missed 12

Games in a row in December six games in January and early February ex Miss 22 out of 24 games in January and February here’s a drive by Luca that’s a good look exm in the corner again he and Luca have a thing going on yeah to your point Lively’s Miss some

Time this year Maxi Clea just came into the game moment ago I mean tonight’s only 37 games this year for CA now Hardway in transition on the Move Tim Hardway too strong on the layup landale the rebound now should front by seven nice start to the game for Dallas tonight landale

Nope with just enough resistance and a long lead bounce pass and a collision but was all happening in slow motion but that’s what Luca does the master of deceleration and he drains another three and the ooze and aw are being heard here they win out everywhere they do I am a

Numbers guy and his numbers win out here’s Fred Van bleet quick three van bleet 201 made threes this season 10th in the NBA of course Luca is second 248 going into tonight and Luca’s already made two so he’s at two 50 made threes this year how about

251 hello W and he wanted to do that you don’t think so of course he did I mean he his follow through told you that he was trying to bank that shot you know I watched him at shoot around Friday in Sacramento stand on the left wing and he

Angled bank shot made three-pointers I bet he made six or seven in a row shooting Bank threes from the left wing right morning and shoot around Pam Whitmore shot here and so everybody was making a lot of happy and sad I mean I’m happy for Luca but I’m sad for my buy

Milk George McLoud man yes sir he was a lottery pick remember back in the day by the Indiana Pacers things didn’t work out well for him it’s cam Whitmore who’s been out for the last nine games knocked down to three yeah prior to that though Whitmore was

Sensational as a player 2024 has been good to him yeah averaging uh 12 points a game this year and he’s attacking off the Dallas turnover rebounds his own Miss no on that point about McLoud after he really struggled in Indiana he was in the CBA and Dallas resurrected his

Career he had some great Seasons with the MS one of the better three-point Shooters in NBA history and speaking of a great point shooter nobody shoots the step back like that dude right there from game time decision to dropping 19 on the Rockets heads and the first 11 minutes of the

Game I think it’s time to go ahead and call your friends and let them know what Luca is doing tonight he’s gone to the special place bobbled ball Hardaway picks it up tough shot lost ball Smith but Whitmore there to grab it jayen green quiet first quarter but

Not many shots just two for three with that make that finish was virtually Unstoppable I mean he exploded to the rim and went to that left hand another step back in the special place he is there he’s talking that talk too that talk that you don’t know what he’s

Saying yeah maybe it’s in English maybe it’s in Slovenian maybe in Spanish who knows right but I tell you what that’s where he is right now 22 points eight rebounds for Don five made threes for Luca Whitmore challenge shot by Luca that’s a block and Luca can’t get it away in

Time he might have
