Mad Mike's blast fires up Rockets

The Houston Rockets had a double-digit lead in the third quarter against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, but after getting careless and having three turnovers in a row, Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni had seen enough.

"Coach went off a little bit," Trevor Ariza said. "I think that was the turning point for us to get our head in the game and for us to start playing the way we normally play."

Soon after that, Ariza - who finished with 17 points - made three straight 3-pointers to pad the lead and the Rockets beat the Mavericks 109-87 for their sixth straight win.
