Kevin Durant, Rockets Impress NBA Fans vs. Cooper Flagg, Mavs with 4th Straight Win

The Houston Rockets started the season 0-2 but have now seemingly hit their stride.

Kevin Durant and the Rockets made it four consecutive wins with Monday night's 110-102 win over Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks.

Durant posted 21 points, six boards and five assists in the win, while Alperen Şengün added 26, 11 rebounds and six assists. Third-year player Amen Thompson led the way for Houston behind his 27 points, a new season high.

Flagg, who has been a bit inconsistent during his rookie season so far, had just 12 points after going cold in the second half. Without Anthony Davis on the court, Dallas will need more from the No. 1 overall pick.

After the win, fans praised Durant and Houston for extending its winning streak.

After blowing out their last three opponents, the Rockets had to fight a bit more to get a win over Dallas, but they nonetheless managed to keep the streak alive. They'll look to keep things going against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.
