Who was the player of the game who elevated his game above normal to help the team get the win?

MKG. Good reminder that defense actually matters.

Wheres the j0n option?

Coach Snyder got us the W.

Coach Snyder got us the W.

I won't lie, it kind of looked like in the 4th quarter he was trying to avoid Houston and with their history against the Rockets I don't blame them

But I'll give Boban a vote. Getting that many minutes is always unexpected for him

[Hypermav]

I have to watch the replay but checking on the game, (limited) it did not look good.  I am shocked there is a Dirkie.  I will watch the replay before I vote to maintain the integrity of the Dirkie.

THJ gets my vote on account of that dagger three to seal the deal late.

[FunkBoreland]

Thought the MKG and Maxi was a great front court blockade. All season long, excluding Kleber, we've lack forwards or centers that could defend to the 3point line AND not give into easy layups. Bringing him in was to build team roster on defensive stoppers, along with re-developing his shot.  Im hoping MKG gets more minutes tomorrow and see if it repeats.

THJ and Seth deserve it for their clutch crunch time shooting. But, in the larger scheme, the emergence of MKG is the more important development. The Mavs desperately need an athletic, Physical, defensive wing to take Jackson’s minutes. Hopefully, MKG takes that role for the playoff series.

[Kammrath]

THJ with the last minute vote squeaks out a victory.

[embellisher]

THJ. A huge honorable mention to MKG. Hopefully we will see him used quite a bit for his defense. We have more than enough offense.
