November 4th NBA regular season news, the Rockets defeated the Mavericks 110 to 102. Rockets head coach Uduka was interviewed after the game.

Question: "Facing such a tall and athletic team, what message did you send to the players on defense at halftime?"

Uduka: "They didn't shoot the three-pointer well, but we over-pressed and defended some non-shooting players, causing them to frequently break into the penalty area. We emphasized the need to recognize the characteristics of the opponent-Thompson and Russell need to press to the three-point line. We wanted our opponents to prove themselves with outside shots, but we allowed Christie, Flagg and Marshall to break through the defense too easily. So we said we could only play C- in the first half, but even so, as long as we played a few good defenses, the situation was in our favor."
