ROCKETS 117 MAVERICKS 115...MAVS get 38 from @swish41 but RED Nation gets everyone but Mascot "CLUTCH" to hit the Books...RED Nation's #1 Soap "As DWIGHT Turns" Big D Episode #REDnation #CLUTCHcity

The Mavs put up a fight as their #1 Weapon went Throwback Night as Dirk Nowitzki was Vintage DIRK-iliscious scoring 38 points. The Rockets at the same token had seven in double-figures including Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard leading the way to a 117-115 victory.

The Mavs to their credit hung tough down just 63-57 at the break at home and had to be feeling good about themselves. The Mavs then tie the game on a Dirk Money Ball at 75-75 and that would be the last time the Mavs would be tied with the Rockets. The Rockets then surged out to a lead late in the 3rd frame only to weather everything the Mavs had coming at them to beat Big D 117-115.

Rockets SF Chandler Parsons led the Clutch City with 26 points with "Dwight of Three Stripes" adding 21 and Mr. Jones 16. The play of Rockets PG Jeremy Lin has been a huge key to the Rockets Success lately as he went 18 points, seven helpers, and seven boards as he has clearly outplayed both the Spurs Parker and Mavs Jose Calderon on successive nights. Shooting a blistering 55% plus from the field helps.

The Mavs were led by the aforementioned 38 by the "Germanator" Dirk Nowitzki as he also grabbed 17 Oranges. Vince Carter who has been sipping from the "Fountain of Youth" damn some Gatorade added 22 points with DeJuan Blair 13 points and Devin Harris 14 points. It was the Clutch City Starters out scoring the Mavs Starters 92-60. If the Mavs Bench led by VINcanity doesn't show up...it's a Slaughter by Red Nation.

The Rockets move to 30-17 while the Mavs falling back into the pack to 26-21 and that is good for 8th in the West a game ahead of the Grind Hot Grizzlies! 

Note: Rockets SG James Harden didn't play again nursing a Thumb Injury...
