The Dallas Mavericks staved off elimination in Game 4 with a big 121–109 win. Dallas looked done after the first quarter down by 9, but dug deep in the second and third outscoring the Rockets 69-41 to take a 19 point lead into the fourth.
Dallas shot a fantastic 54.3% from the field and 35.7 from behind the arc which dwarfed Houston’s numbers of 46.9 field goal percentage and a very poor 7 of 31 from three point land. The Mavericks bullied the Rockets on the boards outrebounding them 52-38!
Monta Ellis lead the way for the Mavericks with a game high 31 and 5 other Mavs hit double digits with Jose Juan Barea contributing 17, Al-Farouq Aminu 16, Dirk Nowitzki 16, Amar’e Stoudemire 12 and Tyson Chandler 10. James Harden was held to 24, but that lead the team followed by Josh Smith with 23, Corey Brewer with 22 and Dwight Howard and Terrence Jones with 13 apiece.
