Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets 1st Qtr Full Highlights | Mar. 31 | NBA 2024 Highlights

Here we go what are you thinking I’m thinking the fact that every player on each team is playing so well we’re in for a dooy 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 gaffard picks up his first

Foul never like to see your bigs pick up an early foul especially like that you 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 definitely a thing those two guys have clearly made a

Difference Jaylen green shooting against Derrick Jones Jr offensive rebound put back and fell perfectly for and Thompson Thompson zero college experience but clearly making a huge contribution with his opport to foul on Derek Jones Jr offensive foul there as well foul on the screen set Thompson is called for

The foul well 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 mayelin when he thinks that they are

Makeups so I don’t know that one that one seemed kind of quick that call on tops in 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 see when you’re 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 man 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 Jr running block Jr know he want holl 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 and B it’s 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

Bought an island and is building a resort there har looking to get down yeah and Reggie’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 Jr he’s had a habit of playing well in the past against Dallas and has knocked down two3 so far as a big oh nice pass and finish that time G with great hands soft touch off the window really good pass even better finish tipping home the LW 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 Derek 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 drik Wiley’s in Dante exen has also gone in Cross for pass

Luuka 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 Ms 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 Luka 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 wly couldn’t grab that alley and that is an infrequent good contest there by Brooks now a wing three and that’s no good Bullock Jr misses it [Applause] To make him play defense as well PJ over jayen 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 you know what I think has gotten lost in the sauce nice pass oh give and go another nice pass point and three on the money for exm 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 think about Kyrie missed 12 games in a row in December six games in

January and early February ex missed 22 out of 24 games in January and February here’s a drive by Luca that’s a good look Exel in the corner again he and Luca have a thing going on yeah to your point Lively’s missed some time this year Maxi CA just came

Into the game a moment ago I mean tonight’s only 37 games this year for CA now Hardway in transition on the Move Tim Hardaway 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 between is all happening in slow motion but that’s what Luca does the master of deceleration and he drains another three and the ooze and O are being heard here they win out everywhere do I am a numbers guy and his numbers went

Out here’s Fred Van ble quick three van ble 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 250 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 and 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 Friday morning at 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 buddy milk George McLoud man yes

Sir he was a lottery pick remember back in the day by the Indiana Pacers things didn’t worked out well for him it’s cam Whitmore he’s been out for the last nine games knocks down to three yeah prior to that though Whitmore was Sensational y 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 three-point shooter nobody shoots the step back like that dude right there thought he was from game time decision to dropping 19 on the Rockets heads in 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 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 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
