Raptors-Mavericks Preview

The Dallas Mavericks know they blew a chance to get their fourth straight win in their last game. A home matchup with the Toronto Raptors appears to give them a good opportunity to bounce back.

The Mavericks look to rebound from a disheartening defeat with their 10th straight home win over the Raptors on Saturday night.

After a season-opening loss to Washington, Dallas (3-2) won three straight, including a road victory over the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers and a dramatic comeback win over Utah.

That streak came to an end Wednesday night, when Dallas blew a late lead of its own and eventually fell 114-107 in overtime at New Orleans. The Mavericks had a 97-94 lead and the ball with 10 seconds left but couldn't hold on. They missed four free throws in the final 14 seconds of regulation and gave up 17 points in overtime.

"It's a lost opportunity," said reserve guard Jason Terry, who scored a season-high 35 points but missed two free throws toward the end of regulation and went 2 for 6 from the field in overtime.

"The key things we talk about all of the time and the little things ... free throws, getting out on shooters and fouling when we are up three. Those things are what championship teams do. Obviously, we're not there yet. We'll learn from this."

The Mavericks have had no trouble closing out home games against the Raptors (3-2) lately. Dallas has won nine straight at home against Toronto by an average of 11.8 points since the Raptors' 109-104 win Dec. 30, 1999. Overall, the Mavericks have won 16 of 19 in the series since that defeat.

Playing its first back-to-back games of the season, Toronto earned its first road win in the opener Friday night. Chris Bosh scored 27 points and the Raptors used a 27-4 run in the third quarter to take control en route to a 107-90 victory over New Orleans.

Hedo Turkoglu added 16 points with four 3-pointers as the Raptors went 14 for 29 (48.3 percent) from behind the arc.

"We are feeling more comfortable with each other each game," said Turkoglu, in his first year with Toronto after helping Orlando reach the NBA finals last season. "We know where everybody wants to get the ball."

In addition to their developing chemistry on offense, the Raptors feel their defense was key to beating the Hornets. They gave up a season-low 90 points, including only 14 in the third quarter.

"It really started on defense," Turkoglu said. "We got stops and rebounds. We've been great offensively since they built the team, but we were helping each other on defense tonight."

The Toronto defense could have its hands full with Dirk Nowitzki on Saturday. Nowitzki, held to a season-low 12 points and 4-for-15 shooting in Wednesday's loss, recorded a double-double as Dallas won both meetings with Toronto last season.

Not including a game he left in the first quarter because of blurred vision, Nowitzki has averaged 28.1 points and 10.0 rebounds while shooting 50.3 percent from the field in his last eight contests against the Raptors.

Bosh, who starred at Lincoln High School in Dallas, is still looking for his first win in his hometown. He's averaged 22.2 points and 10.3 rebounds in six career games in Dallas.

Howard's return sparks Mavs in rout of Raptors

DALLAS (NBA.com exclusive) -- Even if his batteries aren't fully charged after a long layoff, Josh Howard supplied enough juice to jump-start a struggling Dallas offense in his season debut Saturday against Toronto.

Dirk Nowitzki's sizzling shooting from the outside and the energetic, aggressive play of Howard and Shawn Marion inside helped the Mavericks pull away, and a fourth-quarter surge by Jason Terry pulled the plug on the Raptors in a 129-101 victory.

"It felt pretty good getting back in the swing of things," Howard said. "Trying to be out there for my team today, that was it. I had a good time out there."

With Howard back in the starting lineup, Dallas enjoyed its best offensive effort of the season by far. The Mavericks shot 62.4 percent overall, including 18-for-22 in the fourth quarter, and 50 percent (10-for-20) from 3-point distance. They set a season high in fastbreak points (24) and had a 56-38 scoring advantage in the paint. They also committed a season-low nine turnovers. In its first five games, Dallas had averaged 96.2 points and shot 41.7 percent.

It was Howard's first game since undergoing operations on his left ankle and wrist on May 22. The former All-Star didn't participate in contact drills until mid-October. He scored 13 in the first half and finished with 16 points, four rebounds, three steals and two assists in 24 minutes.

J-Ho looked like his old self late in the first half, hitting a 10-foot turnaround over Hedo Turkoglu, making a baseline drive around Jose Calderon for a finger roll, and then driving coast-to-coast for a layup in traffic after a steal as part of a 14-7 run by the Mavs.

"Josh was aggressive, which he is -- it's his nature," said Dallas head coach Rick Carlisle. "Josh is definitely one of our high-energy guys. When the group on the court sets that tone, it becomes a little bit contagious."

Nowitzki was 3-for-4 from 3-point range in the third quarter, scoring 13 of his game-high 29 in the period to go along with nine boards and four assists. Marion, acquired from Toronto in a four-team trade in July, was 9-for-11 (5-for-5 in the third) and had 18 points and eight rebounds against his old team. Terry scored 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter on 5-for-5 shooting. J.J. Barea set a career high with 12 assists.

"We were a step slow tonight and it showed. They went past us when they wanted to and they scored over the top of us when they wanted to," said Toronto head coach Jay Triano. "They had more energy, they had more movement, they had better confidence shooting the basketball and that's why you get a result like this."

It was the Mavericks' 10th straight home victory against Toronto. Dallas native Chris Bosh had his fourth double-double of the season with 26 points and 12 boards and Andrea Bargnani added 22 points. Calderon had 13 points and seven assists. After setting a team record with eight 3-pointers in the third quarter of Friday's win at New Orleans, the Raptors were held to eight treys (in 22 attempts) for the entire game.

Toronto did move closer to a team record with its sixth straight 100-point game. The record is seven, set from March 5-17, 2008.

Mavericks fans and the rest of the league got their first look at a revamped starting lineup featuring Howard at shooting guard and Marion taking over at small forward, although Howard said his new role won't change his game.

"I'm not going to fall into the shooting guard thing, as far as shooting the ball all the time," said Howard, who was 5-for-12. "I'm going to continue to play my game and get to the basket, drawing fouls and going to the line. I'm not going to change my game because I think that will mess up the chemistry of the team."

Howard was able to rest the entire fourth quarter with Dallas building a comfortable lead, a break he admitted was welcome.

"Of course I'm fatigued and I have to work through the process of getting back to 100 percent, which I am not," he said. "But, I'm just glad to get out there and play with my team and give them some kind of effort."

Even with Howard's debut, the Mavericks were still not at full strength. Drew Gooden missed his fourth straight game with a ribcage strain and Tim Thomas hasn't played following knee surgery. Quinton Ross, who started the first three games before suffering a bruised lower back Tuesday against Utah, returned after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Hornets and scored six points.
