Mavericks, Rockets look to rebound from opening losses
小牛、火箭希望走出開幕戰落敗的陰影
The Dallas Mavericks open their home schedule Friday night at American
Airlines Center against the Houston Rockets, with both Texas rivals in search
of their first win.
達拉斯小牛明天將在主場開幕戰迎戰休士頓火箭，這對德州世仇在開幕戰
都不幸落敗。
The Southwest Division foes lost high-scoring season openers on the road
Wednesday night. The Mavericks fell 130-121 in overtime at Indiana, while the
Rockets dropped a 120-114 decision at the Los Angeles Lakers.
兩隊都在火力兇猛的比賽敗下陣來，小牛在客場以121-130兵敗印第安那，
火箭則是在客場以114-120敗給洛杉磯湖人。
Dallas fought back from 14 points down late in the first half to send its
first game into OT. The effort wasn't lost on Mavs coach Rick Carlisle.
小牛在第二節尾聲一度落後14分，但還是將比賽逼近延長賽，教練Rick
Carlisle談到球隊的努力。
"I like the rally. I don't like going down 14," he said. "We spread the floor
and got some penetration in, and it opened up some things. We were struggling
through most of the game, and we had some good stretches late in the first
half and parts of the second.
卡帥說："我喜歡他們努力追分，但我不喜歡落後14分，我們將比賽空間拉
開，找到切入的路線，讓我們有所收穫。上半場我們打得比較掙扎，但在
第二節後段跟下半場我們慢慢打出優勢。"
"I like the way we fought and hung in, but the defense has obviously got to
be better. Giving up 130 points is no way to do business, and it was a
high-turnover game for two low-turnover teams."
他說："我喜歡我們持續拼戰，不過防守得要加強，掉130分是沒辦法贏比
賽的，而且這兩支不常失誤的球隊都犯下不少失誤。"
The Pacers shot 50.5 percent and outrebounded Dallas. Deron Williams paced
the Mavericks with 25 points. Dirk Nowitzki and J.J. Barea each scored 22,
and Harrison Barnes added 19 points and nine rebounds in his first game with
Dallas.
溜馬的命中率來到50.5%，籃板也比小牛搶得多。Deron Williams拿下全
隊最高的25分，Dirk Nowitzki與J.J. Barea各拿到22分，Harrison Barnes
在小牛的首次登場拿到19分9籃板。
Barnes sent the game into the extra session by hitting a 3-pointer with 2.3
seconds left in regulation.
Barnes在正規賽最後2.3秒的三分球將戰局扳平。
"We battled and we fought, and we definitely showed some promise out there in
a couple of areas," Williams said. "But if you look at, 130 points is just a
lot of points, even in overtime, so there's definitely some things we've got
to clean up and learn from."
Williams說："我們不斷對抗，我們有一些地方做得不錯，但是你如果看到
對手攻下130分，儘管打到延長賽，這都是你希望改善的。"
The Mavericks also jacked up 48 3-pointers
