Wow! This was a good game. Even the floor photographers were ohing and awing. When the players fell, we love it! Our cameras went click, click, click. Great Mavs basketball! This game was championship caliber, Aaron Brooks, Lowery, Ariza dominated the Rockets offense.
For Dallas, JJ Barea scored 23 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in 35 minutes. He's a bad boy! JJ comes off the bench with great enthusiasm ready to grind. He has hustle, heart, passion and knowledge of the game. Houston jump out strong on the Mavs, held the lead most of the game until 4th quarter.
Quotes:
Mavs Shawn Marion:
"They came out very aggressive and after they got the lead early in the 2nd quarter and they lead the entire game until we made that run in the 4th. It was a very physical game out there, there were a lot of things going on, a heated game and a game we could have won but we fought to the end. We just couldn't pull it out in overtime."
For Houston, Kyle Lowery is just a tough competitior all over the floor and that's the kind of defener you want on the floor. He scores, he hustles, he helped lead his team to a 116-108 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

The fourth-year point guard set a new career-high with 26 points. Kyle was terrific,” said Rockets’ Head Coach Rick Adelman after the game. “He’s just a tough competitor and he’s always going to give you 100 percent and tonight he was making shots, making plays and that is kind of what we’ve been getting: someone different off the bench has been stepping in and doing the job.”
Quotes:
Rockets KYLE LOWRY :
"Down the stretch and in overtime we just wanted to win the game any way we could. We went out there and did what we could do. Me and Aaron were getting open and hitting shots. It was a great team win and I know we’re happy. We have a good team. Everybody is unselfish, everyone likes each other and we know we have to go out there and play harder than the other team and that’s what we try to do every single night.
We knew the history of it, we just wanted to go out there and get the lead and just play hard and not let what they did to us the last two times happen again.
Jason Kidd got into a small scuffle, Tim Thomas stepped in along with several others on the floor to make sure nothing got outta hand. Dallas Tim Thomas would later redeemed himself with a three pointer. Erick Dampier had 9 points with 14 rebounds, 7 of those were offensive boards with 3 blocks in 32 minutes. Wow! Didn't know Erick had it in him, he's showing fans each game, he can be force to be reckoned with.
When Dampier first became a Dallas Maverick, he reminded me of former Maverick center, James Donaldson. All height, no hands and no hustle. Clearly, Damp has made a conscious effort to improve his game, or was healthy competition (Gooden, Humphries) that made the difference. The game is his 5th of the season with 14+ rebounds.
Dampier was ejected from the game with 1:01 to go in overtime after being assessed his 2nd technical foul. So was coach Rick Carlise. Carlise was hit with a technical after disagreeing with a call the officials made. Must watch the officials. They will cheat
Rockets, Tracy McGrady played 7 minutes and scored 2points.. Not much action from Tracy, he sat on the bench enjoying the game looking around and making some kids night by throwing up the peace sign acknowledging them yelling out his name. Rockets guard, Aaron Brooks burned the Mavs for 25 pts and teammate Kyle Lowery scored 26 minutes in 38 minutes.
Injury Update:
Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki and Rockets Carl Landry both left the game at the 9:28 mark of the 2nd quarter after a collision on the Mavericks baseline. Nowitzki received treatment to a right elbow laceration that included 3 stitches. X-rays taken of the area were negative. Landry was taken to an area emergency room to have 3 broken teeth treated. Ouch!!
