The Mavs set a franchise record with 18 blocks against the Rockets, their most ever, breaking their 2013 record of 17 blocks in a game against New Orleans. Newly acquired star Anthony Davis had three of the blocks, all of which occurred in the first half before he left the game with an adductor sprain in the second half.

Newly acquired Anthony Davis got off to a dominant start with the Dallas Mavericks, recording 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks. But his promising debut was cut short by a minor injury in the team’s 116-105 victory over the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
