Rockets-Mavericks Preview The Houston Rockets passed their first test in a difficult pair of Southwest Division games on back-to-back nights by beating San Antonio without James Harden. 休士顿火箭今天缺少了James Harden，不过在西南组的二连战当中先在主场 打败了强敌圣安东尼奥马刺。 Next, they'll try to beat the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night for the first time in eight trips to the American Airlines Center. 明天他们将到客场挑战达拉斯小牛，寻求最近八次客场对小牛首胜。 Harden, the Rockets' leading scorer with 23.7 points per game, sat out Tuesday's 97-90 win over the Spurs with a bruised thumb, and coach Kevin McHale didn't have an update after the game on his status against the Mavericks (26-20). 火箭得分王Harden平均每场23.7分，今天因为大拇指瘀伤缺赛，不过火箭还是以 97-90打败马刺。火箭教练Kevin McHale在赛後没有宣布Harden明天的出赛状况。 Houston (30-17) improved to 5-2 without him this season, but one of those losses came against Dallas - a 111-104 home defeat on Dec. 23. 30胜17败的火箭，今年在没有Harden时的战绩5胜2败，不过其中一败包括上次主 场以104-111败给小牛。 The Rockets and Mavericks split two meetings before that, with Dallas also winning 123-120 at home on Nov. 20 behind 37 points from Monta Ellis and 35 from Dirk Nowitzki. Houston blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead in that one, its seventh straight road loss in the series. 火箭与小牛本季最初的两次对战各取一胜，其中一次小牛以123-120主场取胜， Monta Ellis攻下37分，而Dirk Nowitzki则得到35分，火箭浪费了第四节14分的 领先，也吞下了客场对小牛的七连败。 Against San Antonio on Tuesday, the Rockets got 23 points and 16 rebounds from Dwight Howard while Terrence Jones added 21. Jeremy Lin started in place of Harden and chipped in 18 and eight assists as the Rockets went with a two-point-guard lineup with Patrick Beverley. 今天对马刺的比赛，Dwight Howard攻下23分16篮板，Terrence Jones则得到21分， Jeremy Lin代替Harden先发得18分8助攻，火箭今天启用双控卫阵容，他与Patrick Beverley一起先发。 "We just kept grinding it out," said McHale, whose team improved to 3-0 against the Spurs this season. "We changed a couple of things defensively and the guys kind of dug in and got stops." McHale率领球队本季拿下对马刺拿下三连胜，他说："我们整场都很努力，在防守 上改变战术，球员们也做好防守。" The win came after consecutive losses to Memphis in which Harden averaged 13.0 points on 33.3 percent shooting and sustained the injury in the second game - a 99-81 loss on Saturday in Memphis. 火箭之前对曼斐斯灰熊吞下二连败，Harden两场平均只有13.0分，命中率33.3%， 第二场比赛中他受到伤势的影响，导致球队以81-99客场败阵。 The Rockets have been held under 100 points in three straight games for the first time this season, shooting 40.4 percent and averaging 88.3 points - 16.5 under their season average. Against the Spurs, they managed to weather that with a 55-39 rebounding advantage. 火箭本季首度连续三场得分未破百，这三场的命中率仅40.4%，平均88.3分，比赛 季平均还低16.5分。不过今天对上马刺，他们在篮板上已55-39掌握优势。 "We missed a lot of shots, and they came out and hit some," Howard told the team's official website. "That's going to happen some nights, but we didn't give up. We kept fighting, we hit the offensive glass, Terrence got hot for a little bit and we just kept playing." Howard在球队官网访问说到："我们投失了几球，他们藉此追近比分，这偶尔会发 生，不过我们不会放弃，我们持续抵抗并抓下进攻篮板，Jones手感发烫，我们会 继续努力。" The Mavericks are looking to improve to 2-0 on a four-game homestand, and their leading scorer is also ailing. Nowitzki played through a sore left knee and scored 28 points Sunday in a 116-106 win over Detroit. 26胜20败的小牛希望在主场四连战拿下前两胜，不过小牛的得分王身体也微恙，上 一场Dirk虽然攻下28分，不过整场都受到左膝酸痛的伤势影响，但还是帮助球队以 116-106击败底特律活塞。 Ellis was held to 11 points and has turned the ball over 18 times in the last three games, but the Mavericks have been getting consistent guard play elsewhere. Devin Harris, just five games into a return from offseason toe surgery, played a season-high 24 minutes against Detroit and scored 14 points for a second straight game. Ellis昨天仅攻下11分，且最近三场一共犯下18次失误，不过小牛的後卫群有人跳出， Devin Harris在归队的仅第五场比赛，就出赛了本季最高的24分钟，且连两场得到14 分，他因为暑假的脚趾手术缺席很长一段时间。 "On a night when Monta couldn't get it going, it's a godsend to have a guy like Devin available," coach Rick Carlisle said. "He's an experienced NBA player who's really done everything." 小牛教练Rick Carlisle说："当Ellis状况不好时，有Harris能跳出来真棒，他的经 验丰富，而且真的很全能。" Harris has 16 assists and one turnover since returning. Harris在归队之後一共送出16次助攻，只犯下1次失误。 "I'm making the most of my experience on the floor, trying to get used to playing with different guys in different situations," Harris said. "I'm using this as kind of my training camp." Harris说："我在场上利用我的经验打球，希望能适应与不同队友的配合，我现在等 於当做训练营在打。" Starting point guard Jose Calderon scored 17 against the Pistons on 7-of-8 shooting. 先发的控球後卫Jose Calderon对活塞投8中7攻下17分。 这季的表现实在不是很稳定 希望对火箭的连胜能延续~~ Let's Go Mavs!! --
