Rockets Host Mavs, as Texas Rivalry Gets Renewed
Hot Hand Luka. Inspiring Leadership. Test Time.
Houston hosts Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. The Rockets are trying to get the rare victory over a Dallas team that’s intent on making a run in the playoffs. The Mavericks boast one of the league’s best young players in Luka Doncic.
Rockets Coach Stephen Silas will be seeing his old team, the staff he was part of last season, and the reason he became a head coach: Luka Doncic. Silas worked closely with Doncic and his guidance and Doncic’s improvement is one of the major reasons Silas got the Head Coaching gig in Houston.
It’s test time for the Rockets. Tonight’s game doesn’t mean anything in the standings. But, against an interstate-rival, can they ruin Dallas’ hopes of climbing up the playoff ladder? Hopefully the Rockets will play inspired, and make this a close contest. One thing’s for sure… expect Luka to put on a show.
