00:00The Dallas Mavericks welcomed Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets to the American Airlines

00:07Center on Saturday night, claiming home territory, winning with a final score of 122-109.

00:13Cooper Flagg during pregame warm-ups received his award for being selected as West Conference

00:18Rookie of the Month, and that energy set the tone for the rest of this competition.

00:23Dallas was in an offensive rhythm against Houston, welcoming P.J. Washington back to

00:27the floor after being out with an ankle injury, as he brought that spark back to the rotation

00:32that his game is most known for.

00:34It was really fun.

00:34I was just a little tired because I'm an owl, so I was trying to catch my breath, yeah.

00:39So it was great.

00:41I mean, I just love being able to be on the winning side of things, and it just feels great

00:44seeing everybody smile, obviously seeing the fans get into it, and things starting to turn.

00:49This is a game full of defensive stops and buzzer-beater shots, with Najee Marshall hitting a three-pointer

00:54to close out the third quarter, along with P.J. Washington, just shy of the buzzer, closing

00:59out with a two at the first quarter.

01:01Defensively, Dallas' biggest threat coming into this matchup was Kevin Durant, who had

01:05a normal scoring night, but they were able to limit his three-point accuracy, holding

01:09him to one of three shots, leaving here with 33%.

01:13We heard from head coach Jason Kidd following the game, and he said that when P.J. Washington

01:17plays, it gives them a chance to win.

01:19He said that Kevin Durant has scored over 30,000 points, so you're not going to stop him, but

01:23you can make it challenging.

01:25And he felt like the game was so much easier for the Mavs tonight.

01:28The Mavericks will have a bit of a break and come back on December 12th to take on the

01:32Brooklyn Nets.
