Tonight marks Stephen Curry’s third 40-point outing of the season. All three 40-point games have come over the span of his last five contests. He’s now tied with Luka Dončić and Joel Embiid for the most 40-plus point outings in the NBA this season. – 11:58 PM

When the Rockets set the franchise record for blocked shots of 20, one more than they got tonight, they were not led that night by Hakeem Olajuwon. Not by Ralph Sampson. Nope. Rookie Jim Peterson, who would averaged a half of a blocked shot that season, got six. – 11:51 PM

You can use the Luka’s not playing excuse all you want. But HOU kept giving the Mavs the ball (23 TO), & Mavs kept flinging up 3s on a night when they couldn’t make them. HOU blocked 19 shots (Mavs opp record), But you’ve just got to keep driving it and make refs blow the whistle – 11:13 PM

Rockets stun Dallas — Christian Wood in shambles. 19 blocks for Houston, one short of their franchise record set in 1984. Rockets played much smarter, moved the ball really well and Usman Garuba was damn near perfect (12 points, 9 boards, 3 blocks, 3 assists, 5-5 FG, 2-2 3P). – 10:57 PM

In Doncic’s absence, Dinwiddie figured to pick up much of the offensive load, or at least contribute his usual 18-plus points — but he is 1-for-7 from the field. Most of his shots have been short.
Probably not a coincidence that he played 41 minutes last night. – 9:23 PM

Luka Doncic is walking toward the refs reviewing this unsportsmanlike call, waving his hand in disgust, as if he has nothing better to do than pick up a(nother) technical foul when he’s not even playing. – 9:07 PM

Campazzo has given the Mavs a nice spark: Entered game with Dallas trailing 15-9. He has 4 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, including the backcourt steal that led to Ntilikina’s tying 3-pointer. – 9:06 PM

K.J. Martin hit with a T for hanging on the rim and a kick to Dwight Powell face on the dunk. Officials checking video to see if it should be a flagrant foul. – 9:06 PM

Jason Kidd: “The Rockets, Silas has done a really good job with these guys. They’re young, they’re quick. They can score. They’re not afraid. On the defensive end, if you don’t take care of it, they’re going to come up with deflections and steals and get out and run.” – 8:17 PM

A good note, albeit early, the Mavs are second in the league in steals at 9.1 a game. The highest the Mavs have ever finished is 4th in 2004-05 and 2011-12. Luka leads the way with just over 2 a game – 8:17 PM
