NBA ROUNDUP : Mavericks Ride Mashburn (50) Over Bulls

Jamal Mashburn and Jim Jackson came out galloping and the rest of the Dallas Mavericks hung on for the joy ride.

Mashburn set a team record with 50 points and Jackson added a career-high 38 as the Mavericks defeated the Chicago Bulls, 124-120, in overtime Saturday night, ending a 12-game losing streak against the Bulls.

“Usually I’ve had two good scorers on teams that I coached, but not who took on the scoring load like these guys did tonight. I guess we kind of went with them,” Dallas Coach Dick Motta said. “Sometimes you’ve just got to ride those horses.”

Jackson scored seven points in overtime after scoring 16 in the fourth quarter. Mashburn had 17 in the first quarter.

Mashburn’s previous career high was 37 points, accomplished twice last season when he was a rookie.

The Maverick record of 49 was set by Mark Aguirre against the Philadelphia 76ers on Jan. 28, 1985.

Jackson’s layup with 21 seconds to play in regulation gave the Mavericks a 109-107 lead, but Will Perdue of the Bulls was fouled by Popeye Jones with seven seconds left. Perdue, who scored 19 points, made both free throws.

Jones missed a last-second shot, forcing overtime.

Houston 100, New Jersey 84--Hakeem Olajuwon had 31 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks for the unbeaten Rockets at East Rutherford, N.J.

The Rockets, who are 6-0 after opening last season with 15 consecutive victories, haven’t lost a game in November since Nov. 28, 1992, when they dropped a 108-99 decision to the Utah Jazz.

Kenny Anderson led the Nets with 26 points. Derrick Coleman had 14 rebounds but only seven points, making one of 15 shots.

Orlando 116, Philadelphia 103--Shaquille O’Neal had 28 points, 12 rebounds and a season-high six assists at Philadelphia.

O’Neal punctuated his night with eight fourth-quarter points, all on dunks, as the Magic pulled away with a 15-6 spurt that made the score 109-91 with 4:13 to play.

Jeff Malone of the 76ers led all scorers with 30 points.

Charlotte 113, Detroit 100--Alonzo Mourning scored 28 points to lead the Hornets at Charlotte, N.C.

Mourning made 11 of 15 shots and had a team-high eight rebounds. Muggsy Bogues had 22 points and 13 assists for the Hornets, who won for the second time in as many nights after losing their first three games.

Rookie Grant Hill led the Pistons with 25 points.

Indiana 93, Cleveland 86--The Cavaliers missed nine of their first 10 shots and never recovered at Cleveland.

Reggie Miller scored 23 points and Derrick McKey and Rik Smits each scored 12 for the Pacers, who had lost their previous seven road games against the Cavaliers.

Washington 109, Miami 99--Rex Chapman scored 30 points and set a team record with eight three-point goals at Miami.

Chapman made eight of 14 shots from three-point range to break the old mark of six set by Michael Adams against the San Antonio Spurs on Dec. 18, 1991.

Reserve Ledell Eackles led the Heat with 22 points.

Boston 114, Minnesota 101--Xavier McDaniel led a balanced attack with 21 points as the Celtics survived a battle of winless teams at Minneapolis.

Minnesota (0-6) is off to its worst start in six seasons in the league. Sean Rooks led the Timberwolves with 20 points.

San Antonio 101, New York 82--David Robinson had 35 points and 13 rebounds at San Antonio to help the Spurs hand the Knicks their first loss in four games.

This is the second season in a row that the Spurs have dealt the Knicks their first loss. They ended a seven-game Knick winning streak at the start of last season.

Patrick Ewing scored 22 points to lead the Knicks, who made only 38% of their shots.

Denver 119, Utah 110--Rookie Jalen Rose made four free throws in the final 40 seconds and Robert Pack scored 26 points for the Nuggets at Denver.

Jeff Hornacek scored 33 points for the Jazz to break out of a slump. He had scored only 32 points and made 33% of his shots in his previous four games.

Sacramento 105, Atlanta 97--Mitch Richmond scored 10 points in the final four minutes and surpassed the 10,000-point mark for his career with 32 to lead the Kings at Sacramento.

Rookie forward Michael Smith added 18 points and Spud Webb had 17 points and a game-high 11 assists for the Kings, who trailed by 14 points midway through the second quarter.

Former Clipper Ken Norman led the Hawks with 21 points.
