Even without their head coach by their side, the Dallas Mavericks made very sure their string of wins would continue.
Tim Hardaway Jr. led a balanced attack and the Mavs tickled the twine so often Friday night that they scored a whopping 80 points in

the half on their way to a relatively easy, 130-106, victory over the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center.
In racking up their fifth straight win, the Mavs increased their record to 21-18 going into Sunday night’s home game against the Chicago Bulls.
