The benches for both the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets were instrumental in keeping both teams in the game , but no one player finished with any astronomical numbers , save for J.J. Barea . Barea chimed in with 18 points , five assists and three rebounds , and included a strong 75 percent shooting from behind the arc . The rest of the Mavericks bench attack was led by Justin Anderson and Dwight Powell , who combined for 15 points and five boards . The Rockets spread their bench out with most of the rotation seeing around 15 minutes of play . Nene Hilario added 11 points to counteract Clint Capela 's four points but was less effective on the boards . Second-year Wisconsin product Sam Dekker went 3 - of - 3 from deep and added nine points in minutes of action in the winning effort . The Houston Rockets defeated the Dallas Mavericks 93 - 92 at Toyota Center on Sunday . The Rockets ( 2 - 1 ) maintained a lead throughout most of the Western Conference clash with the Mavericks ( 0 - 3 ) , which included a 10 point lead at the half . Drama ensued down the stretch , started by Wesley Matthews , who was able to cap of a 70 run with back - to - back baskets , which cut the Rockets ' lead to two points with 3:2 remaining in the fourth quarter . Matthews ' heads up defense forced a turnover on Harden and transitioned the impressive scoring effort to give Dallas a chance to grab its first win of the season . Matthews continued to put the team on his shoulders after draining a 27 - foot three pointer to tie the game at 92 with four seconds left in the game , but he also committed a shooting foul on James Harden 's ensuing drive to the hoop with just one - tenth of a second left to play . Harden missed the first free throw but sank the second and that was all that needed to ice the game for Houston . Harden went on to put up star numbers again , scoring 28 points to go along with seven rebounds and seven assists . Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson joined Harden in double figures with 14 points each , while Clint Capela was strong on the glass , totaling 10 rebounds . Wes Matthews struggled from behind - the - arc , but not when it mattered most for Dallas . Matthews finished with 25 points , five boards and three assists on 9 - of - 25 shooting ( 3 - of - 15 from three ) . Harrison Barnes started 3 - of - 5 from the field but ended up missing his next six attempts on his way to a lowly 10 points in 38 minutes of action . The Rockets will head to Cleveland to visit the reigning champion Cavaliers on Tuesday , while the Mavericks will visit the Utah Jazz on Wednesday .
