NBA Playoffs -- Rockets bounce Mavs, advance to second round By Franco Ching Alsay PhilBoxing.com Fri, 01 May 2015 HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets eliminated the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night by scoring a 103-94 victory in Game 5 of their best-f-7 series at the Toyota Center. For the first time in six years, the Rockets will advance to the second round of the NBa playoffs. "For us to put ourselves in a position to advance to the next round is big. Thank God for this opportunity, but the job is not complete. It feels good to move on out of the first round. But we're not finished," said Dwight Howard who finished with 18 points and 19 rebounds. James Harden finished with 28 points, 14 in the opening half where the Rockets built a 56-50 bubble. Josh Smith recorded 20 points and 8 rebounds off the bench while Terrence Jones added 15 points, including a dunk that pushed the Rockets to a 99-91 advantage with 1:08 left to play. "I tell our guys to work on the corner three's all the time and that left corner three by TJ (Terrence Jones) was a huge shot. He rose up and shot it. TJ had a great stretch in that fourth quarter that kind of brought us home which was fantastic," McHale said. Nowitzki played for 39 minutes and finished with 22 points and 14 boards while Monta Ellis recorded 25 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds.
