Rockets star James Harden led the team with 24 points and 11 assists in Game 1, but it was a complete team effort that earned Houston its 118-108 win over Dallas. Six other Rockets scored in the double figures, including forward Terrence Jones with 19 points and veteran guard Jason Terry with 16.
"That's means everybody's touching the basketball, everybody's getting involved and they can't only just stop one person," Harden said, according to ESPN. "They put two on the ball. Me, I make the pocket pass, I made the easy play and had confidence in my teammates to make the next one."
For Houston, Saturday's win was about sending a message and setting the tone for the series.
"It's all about Game 1," said Rockets guard Corey Brewer, who scored 13 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter. "You have to get Game 1, especially when you have home-court advantage. For us, it was big to get a win. We got a win, and now we've got to get Game 2."
Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki, who also led the way for his team with 24 points, admitted they weren't expecting such big performances from Houston's supporting cast.
"You've got to give the other guys credit," Nowitzki said. "Obviously, we were paying a lot of attention to James, but they made some plays off the pick-and-rolls. It's just too easy."
Dallas, like Houston, also had seven players score in the double figures.
