The Houston Rockets took down the host Dallas Mavericks , 106 - 98 , in a matchup of divisional rivals on Friday . Houston was able to pull away in the third quarter on the back of strong three - point shooting . Forward Trevor Ariza led the team with 27 points and five three - pointers , while All-Star guard James Harden trailed narrowly behind with 26 points and four makes from deep . Harden also dished out eight assists , showing continued commitment to his new role as point guard . Harden made the shift under the guidance of new head coach Mike D'Antoni and in part due to the acquisition of shooting guard Eric Gordon . Gordon scored 18 points , also notching four rebounds and six assists . For Dallas , meanwhile , new acquisition Harrison Barnes led the way with 31 points . Barnes , the former Warrior , opened up his career in Dallas with a buzzer beater to force overtime on Wednesday . He picked back up with a strong outing , establishing himself as the focal point of the Mavericks offense . Despite Barnes 's significant contribution , however , Dallas was simply out - shot from behind the arc . The Mavericks made just 8 of 29 shot from three , compared to 15 of 32 for the Rockets . The teams will face off again on Sunday night , with Houston playing host . James Harden told coach Mike D'Antoni that he was `` trippin ' `` after the coach said he expected Harden to double his assist numbers with his transition to point guard . After a 17 - assist debut and another eight Friday night against the Mavericks , the feat seems much more achievable than even he imagined . For the Rockets , D'Antoni 's run - and - gun offensive approach has quickly translated to the box score . The Rockets combined for 15 three - pointers and dished 21 assists , with 14 assists coming from their backcourt duo . For Dallas , meanwhile , the absence of Dirk Nowitzki opened up even more opportunity for the newly - acquired Harrison Barnes to lead the offense . Barnes stepped up to the challenge , scoring a game - high 31 points . Barnes was impressively efficient , going 13 - for - 23 including 2 - for - 4 from beyond the arc . The increased output is likely a product of Barnes 's increased role on the Mavericks versus the deeper Warriors squad he previously played with .
