Mavs come back again at Houston

The Mavericks weren’t going to let Tracy McGrady beat them. He didn’t.

And neither did the Rockets.

One night after making up 24 points, the Mavs overcame a 17-point deficit and took down Houston 100-94 Wednesday night at the Toyota Center. Dallas (9-2) extended its winning streak to five games with its second victory over the Rockets this season. Houston (6-6) has dropped five straight.

“This team is not a quitting team,” Mavs coach Avery Johnson said. “This is a mentally-tough team, especially this year. We’re so much tougher.”
