HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets still had a double-digit lead, but had gotten a little careless and had three turnovers in a row in the third quarter on Saturday night against the Dallas Mavericks when coach Mike DAntoni had seen enough.Coach went off a little bit, Trevor Ariza said. I think that was the turning point for us to get our head in the game and for us to start playing the way we normally play.Soon after that, Ariza -- who finished with 17 points -- made three straight 3-pointers to pad the lead and the Rockets beat the Mavericks 109-87 for their sixth straight win.They turned it on when they needed to and then as a coach you kind of feel silly sometimes ...

Montrezl Harrell then made an off-balance layup as he was fouled and crashed to the court. He made the free throw to leave Houston up 92-75.Wesley Matthews made a 3 with about six minutes left to get the Mavericks within 12. But Patrick Beverley, who scored all of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, hit 3s on the next two possessions to push Houstons lead to 100-82.Matthews scored 26 points to lead the Mavericks and Barnes finished with 20.When you get off to a bad start on the road, it just makes it harder, Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. We hung in and kept it within 10 or 11 a lot of the game, but it was hard getting over the hump.A layup by Seth Curry cut Houstons lead to nine points midway through the third quarter. Thats when Ariza got hot, making 3-pointers on three straight possessions to power a 9-4 run that pushed Houstons lead to 75-61.It was a drag, it was dull and we couldnt find energy, Harden said. But Trevor made some big shots, kind of got us going and pushed the lead up going to the fourth quarter.Gordon and Sam Dekker added 3-pointers after that to leave the Rockets up 86-69 entering the fourth quarter.Ariza made four 3s to move past Shane Battier for fourth on Houstons all-time 3-pointer list with 579.Hardens 16 assists were his most since he had 17 in Houstons season opener.TIP-INSMavericks: Matthews received a technical for arguing a call in the third quarter. ...
