The 31-year-old forward joined Dallas from the Los Angeles Lakers last week in a blockbuster trade involving NBA All-Star Luka Doncic. Despite fan protests over Doncic\u2019s move to the Lakers, Davis delivered an impressive performance, recording 26 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists before exiting the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Davis went down clutching his lower body late in the third quarter while attempting to defend a driving dunk by Houston\u2019s Alperen Sengun. Mavericks teammates Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving contributed 13 points each to the win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Having missed Dallas\u2019 previous game against the Boston Celtics due to an abdominal strain suffered in his final appearance with the Lakers on January 28, Davis received a warm welcome from the home crowd when he assisted Daniel Gafford early in the first quarter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Mavericks built a commanding 65-48 halftime lead, but Houston mounted a third-quarter comeback, cutting the deficit to just two points. However, key three-pointers from Naji Marshall and clutch plays by Irving helped Dallas regain control and hand the Rockets their sixth straight loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
