Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis powered the Dallas Mavericks to a 122-109 victory over Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets at home.

The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a blowout 132-111 loss to the NBA's best team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and now have to face the Houston Rockets on Saturday. It was an ugly performance, but it didn't really get ugly until the second quarter.

The Mavericks’ three-game winning streak came to an end against their I-35 competition, while the Thunder improved to 22-1.

Getting to the paint, Davis finally got on his first bucket on a layup. He finished with two points on 1-of-9 shooting, eight rebounds and six assists. The Oklahoma City Thunder made easy work of the Dallas Mavericks in a 132-111 win to improve to a historic 22-1 record.

However, one team that has been connected to Davis since Nico Harrison was fired is the Chicago Bulls. Davis was born and raised in Chicago and has said in the past that he could see himself wearing a Bulls jersey one day. And the Bulls apparently have held internal conversations about potentially trading for Davis, per ESPN's Jamal Collier.
