Everybody knew if the Rockets were going to beat the Mavericks, it would come from the three point line or a James Harden free throw. Well, the Mavericks were able to fix their three point defense but Harden, who led the Rockets with 28, was able to close out the Mavericks with a final free throw with 0.1 seconds left in the game. The Mavericks are now 0-3.
The Rockets jumped to a 17 point lead by the middle of the 2nd on an early barrage of three pointers as the Mavericks failed to defend the three again.
