Stephen Silas started watching Tuesday’s Mavs game on his phone on the charter, after Rockets’ played in Boston, in time to see Luka’s missed free throw/put back. In 23 years of coaching, saw it work twice: Tuesday and Rockets’ win against Dallas (Covington follow) in the bubble. – 7:37 PM

Update for Mavs vs Rockets. Reggie Bullock is out (non-Covid illness). With Green, Finney-Smith and Kleber also out the Mavs are really short on wings tonight. Mavs Live at 7p, game at 730p on BSSW. – 7:33 PM

Jason Kidd said Reggie Bullock (non-COVID illness) is out tonight vs. Rockets.
That leaves Mavs down their top 4 defenders with DFS, Josh Green and Maxi Kleber out with extended injuries, too.
One tweak to fill the rotation tonight: “Hardy’s going to play early.” – 6:59 PM

Great work by the Mavs content team to put together all of these angles of Luka’s shot on Tuesday. Some awesome crowd reactions and crowd sounds in this video. The emotions of sports, especially a big shot in basketball, is an amazing and beautiful thing. youtu.be/Mtby3SYjF0c – 4:01 PM

Luka Doncic plays basketball again tonight, and if the Mavs need another 50-point game to beat the West-worst Rockets, at least Luka now has plenty of recovery beers.
