Jalen Green Duels Luka Doncic As Houston Rockets Outlast Dallas Mavericks In Statement Win
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) reacts to and discusses the Houston Rockets 108-102 statement win against the Dallas Mavericks. The Rockets showcased their physical prowess by outrebounding the Mavericks 50-37, including a staggering 18 offensive rebounds that translated into 20 second-chance points. Jalen Green emerged as a clutch performer, scoring 11 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter to fend off a Mavs comeback. The Rockets defensive strategy effectively contained Luka Dončić, forcing him into difficult shots and limiting his playmaking. Tari Eason and Amen Thompson made significant defensive contributions off the bench, particularly against Dončić, while Fred VanVleet’s shooting struggles raised concerns. This episode dives into the Rockets’ evolving strategy and the impact of key players on their recent success.
Tune in to explore how the Rockets’ physicality and strategic adjustments are reshaping their season.

Yes, Alpi is nursing a back injury but he is also following the team’s direction. I hope he is fully healthy when Jalen is having off nights.
beating mavs in dallas with a brick vred … is a big deal….
There were stretches of this game looked like the Rockets just flat out had too much talent and athleticism for the Mavs
Sorry dude, part jalens game in first played 30 minutes and his last 6 minutes. 30 minutes, miserable shooting, turnovers, uncontestet boards.
Key players who set the fundament for the win were dillon and alpi.
For alpi it was a real dirty game, drawn how many fouls?
The shot Jalen hit is EXACTLY what he practiced in the training video from the summer. Shout out to that coach 💪🏾
Fred defended Wemby. Smaller guys r bigger threat for big guys who handle the ball.
Amen and Tari as the best wing defensive duo is just not a good take. A quick defensive rating lookup this year and OKC, Spurs, Magic, and Cavs all have better wing defensive duos. Amen and Tari are not even individually ranked in the top 25 in defensive rating. Alp is the only Rocket ranked in the top 25.
The Jalen Green disrespect last season was ridiculous…..
alpi ye kaç fual yaptılar sayamadım üzerine birde açık verilmeyen fauller okadar verilmediki. Bu sene ime alpiyi daha çok reboundlara odaklamış anlaşılan çok savaşıyor defansta rim de.
Go Rockets!
Go Rockets x2!
JG really stepping into his Super Star status
It's a good win, but the rockets really shoot badly.
Great win. Been rewatching the game today.
Rockets could easily be 5-0
WHERE ALL THE GREEN HATERS AT NOW??!!! (I was one of them let’s hope his play is consistent now)
Honestly it’s not terrible that we’re winning despite FVV, if it continues it’ll be way easier to bring him back at a much lower number and reduced role (FVV off the bench is still good)
Cant believe how this team was up by so much at one point when it seemed Houston was playing against Dallas AND the refs early on.
Good game 🚀 I really want to see how they are against good defensive teams like timberwolves and okc
Alpi should have walked away with a triple double. So many assists were blown. Not to count all the no call fouls.
Luka is just frustrating to watch, he's crying to the ref's all game😅
