The Houston Rockets defeated the Dallas Mavericks 110–102 on November 3 at Toyota Center, with A. Thompson and A. Sengun combining for 53 points to lead the home side. Thompson paced Houston with 27 points while Sengun added 26, anchoring an offensive effort that shot 46.1% from the field and made 8 three-pointers. Dallas countered with P. Washington's 29-point performance and strong ball movement—the Mavericks dished 30 assists and forced 12 steals—but shot just 44.9% and made only 9 threes. Houston controlled the rebounding battle 54–40 and limited turnovers to 17 while Dallas committed 15, though the Mavericks' second quarter (27 points) nearly matched Houston's second-quarter output (34 points). The Rockets' defensive rating of 99.2 proved decisive in containing a Dallas offense that struggled in the third quarter with just 23 points. Houston's win improves their standing in a competitive Western Conference race.
