Amen Thompson's near triple-double lifts Rockets over Mavericks in thrilling finish
HOUSTON -- — Amen Thompson had 21 points, nine assists and eight rebounds to lead the Houston Rockets to a 111-107 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night.
An alley-oop dunk by Thompson put Houston up four with under two minutes left before the Mavericks scored the next four points, with baskets from rookie Cooper Flagg and Naji Marshall , to tie it about a minute later.
Alperen Sengun’s layup put Houston on top with 28.6 seconds left before Flagg missed a shot in the lane on the other end. The Rockets grabbed the rebound and a dunk by Tari Eason made it 111-107 with 14.4 seconds remaining.
A 3-point attempt by Flagg bounced off the rim after that to end it.
Flagg led the Mavericks with 34 points and 12 rebounds a game after the 19-year-old set the NBA record for points by a teenager with 49 in a loss to Charlotte on Thursday night. Saturday was the fifth game this season with at least 30 points for the No. 1 pick in last year’s draft.
Jabari Smith Jr. added 19 points for the Rockets and Sengun had 14 points and 14 rebounds.
A 7-2 run by Houston extended the lead to 11 with about seven minutes to go before Klay Thompson made consecutive 3-pointers to power a 6-3 run by Dallas that cut the lead to 99-91 midway through the quarter.
The Mavericks trailed by 10 before Flagg scored all their points in a 6-2 run that got them within 103-97 with 3 1/2 minutes remaining. Kevin Durant made a jump shot for the Rockets after that, but Dallas scored the next six points to cut the lead to 105-103 with two minutes left.
The Rockets were up by 13 after a 3-pointer by Josh Okogie with about 5 1/2 minutes in the third quarter before the Mavericks used a 13-5 run to cut the lead to 87-82 entering the fourth quarter.
