Thankfully, this refers to the first time in history that two Israelis have faced each other in a National Basketball Association game when the Houston Rockets outplayed the Dallas Mavericks 113-105. Forward Omri Casspi scored 12 points for the Rockets whereas guard Gal Mekel scored 11 points for Dallas.
