THE Houston Rockets withstood a late rally by the Dallas Mavericks to outlast their Texas state rivals 116-108 in an overtime victory on Friday.
Point guard Aaron Brooks scored nine of his 25 points in the extra session and Kyle Lowry netted a career-high 26 to lead the Rockets (15-11) to their first win over the Mavericks in three attempts this season.
Dallas (19-8) lost top scorer Dirk Nowitzki in the second quarter after he collided with Houston forward Carl Landry in a play that sidelined both players, but recovered with a furious fourth-quarter rally to force overtime.
Tim Thomas made a game-tying three-pointer with 10 seconds left in regulation as the Mavericks made up a 99-89 deficit with 3:05 to go in the fourth.
Jose Juan Barea had a team-high 23 points for Dallas but it was not enough to keep their five-game winning streak alive.
