Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard and Devin Harris logged the majority of their time in the first and third quarters.
Not coincidentally, the Mavs outscored New Orleans 69-34 in those two periods. Dallas reserves didn’t fare nearly as well. New Orleans “won” the second and fourth quarters 63-34.
Add it up and Dallas wins 103-97. I think that's right.
“Everybody is on the same page,” Johnson said of his starters. “Our bench didn’t play as well in the second quarter, but they finished the game well.”
Harris keyed the quick start as the Mavs jumped out to a 14-0 lead.
“Everybody was in sync and Devin was playing at a high level and the ball was moving well,” Johnson said. “At the same time our defense was keying a lot of our offense. The only thing that hurt us was getting into severe foul trouble in the first quarter. In the first six or seven minutes of the game we were pretty good.”
Harris is feeling more comfortable and confident quarterbacking the team.
“I didn’t look over to the bench once today,” Harris said. “He’s given me the reins to call my own plays and run the sets that I call.”
Harris finished with 19 points, including two 3-pointers, and four assists. Howard had 22 points and seven boards, while Nowitzki chipped in 14 and 11. None of the three played more than 25 ½ minutes.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
If that guy said that Harris looks more confident and better this season than I agree with him. Looks like Devin is ready to make the "leap" that Josh Howard took the last couple of years.
