HOUSTON -- Dwight Howard doesnt have any hard feelings toward Dallas owner Mark Cuban for saying he made a mistake in joining the Houston Rockets. While Howard wasnt mad, Cuban couldnt have been happy about Howards decision to pick Houston instead of Dallas after watching the Rockets beat the Mavericks 113-105 on Friday night. James Harden scored 34 points and Howard had 13 points and 16 rebounds for Houston. Cuban addressed Howards decision Thursday. "Obviously, he made a mistake in judgment," Cuban said. "Do I blame him? No, thats what young kids do. They make mistakes in judgment." Howard said the two talked before the game, but that he was never upset about his comments. "What would you want him to say? Hes taking up for his team," Howard said after the game. "I would do the same thing if somebody didnt want to play with me. I would think they made a bad decision ... if I would have went to his team he would have been happy." The Mavericks scored eight straight points, with five from Monta Ellis, to get to 91-83 with eight minutes left. But Dallas lost its star and momentum a couple minutes later when Dirk Nowitzki fouled out on Hardens fast-break layup. "I guess Ive just got to get out of the way," Nowitzki said. "Hes so great at creating contact, so Ive just got to run to the locker room and let him lay it in." Harden made the free throw as Nowitzki angrily took a seat on the bench. Houston made three more layups after Hardens basket to extend the lead to 16 at 99-83. Nowitzki had 22 points to lead the Mavericks, and Ellis added 20. "We didnt deserve to win tonight," Nowitzki said. "We werent good defensively and we shot 38 per cent." Harden also had four steals, three assists and four rebounds. Jeremy Lin added 14 points for Houston. Lin was back in the starting lineup at point guard with Patrick Beverley out 10 days to two weeks with a torn muscle in his midsection. Nowitzki had scored six straight points for Dallas when he drew his fifth foul by knocking Harden down on a driving layup with 2:18 left in the third quarter. Harden hit the shot as he crashed to the court and into people sitting courtside. Nowitzki went to the bench and Harden made the free throw to leave Houston up 81-70. The Mavericks got within eight points after back-to-back baskets by Shawn Marion. Houston answered with a 9-4 spurt to push it to 73-60 with about five minutes left in the third quarter. Harden made a long 3 at the end of it and bobbed his head and smiled as he ran down the court. Houston attempted 51 free throws in part because the Mavericks employed a Hack-a-Howard approach in the third quarter. Howard went to the line 10 times in that quarter alone. Howard said that defence against him slows the game down for both teams. "Ive just got to make them," he said about the free throws. Howard missed his first six free throws before finally making one soon after that, causing some of the loudest cheers of the night from the crowd. He made his next two attempts before disappointing the fans with another miss. Houston was up by 13 with about nine minutes left in the first half before using an 11-2 run to extend the lead to 53-31 about four minutes later. The Rockets capped that drive with a 3-point play by Harden followed by a steal by him and a reverse layup by Lin. Dallas got going after that, outscoring Houston 19-8 the rest of the quarter, to cut the lead to 61-50 at halftime. Ellis scored four points in the last 30 seconds of the half after hitting a layup before making two free throws after a flagrant 1 foul by Francisco Garcia. Garcia knocked Ellis to the floor on a fast break after a steal by Samuel Dalembert. The Rockets built a 38-22 lead in the first quarter thanks to 12 points by Harden and eight points by Omri Casspi. But Casspi collected three fouls in the first period and didnt play in the second quarter. "We have to play better at the start of the game," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "Our play in the first quarter put us in such a hole that we could never get back over the hump."

MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins fired offensive line coach Jim Turner and longtime head athletic trainer Kevin ONeill on Wednesday for their roles in the teams bullying scandal. The moves were the first punitive steps taken by the Dolphins since a report on the NFLs investigation of the case was released last week. Investigators found that guard Richie Incognito and two teammates engaged in persistent harassment directed at tackle Jonathan Martin, another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer. Martin left the team at midseason, and Incognito was suspended for the final eight games. Turner didnt attempt to stop the harassment and even took part in some of the taunting of offensive lineman Andrew McDonald, the NFL report said. ONeill expressed hostility toward the investigation and cut short an interview with those conducting it, according to the report. ONeill was fired shortly after he and other team officials arrived in Indianapolis for the leagues annual scouting combine. Turner didnt make the trip. In a news release announcing the firings, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said the behaviour described in the report was "against the core values of our organization." "After receiving the report, I conducted my own internal review of the facts to determine the appropriate steps for our organization," Ross said. "Jim Turner and Kevin ONeill are good people who care a great deal about their profession and the players whom they serve, but both exhibited poor judgment at times, which led me to this conclusion." Ross said he haas been in contact with Martin and will meet soon with the two-year veteran.dddddddddddd Martin has two seasons remaining on his contract with the Dolphins, but last month Ross said he didnt believe the tackle would play again for Miami. Incognito becomes a free agent this winter and will try to sign with another team. Coach Joe Philbin made his first public comments since the reports release, saying the vulgar language and behaviour outlined were disappointing and unacceptable, and adding that fundamental values of respect were violated. "That ultimately rests on my shoulders, and I will be accountable moving forward for making sure that we emphasize a team-first culture of respect toward one another," Philbin said in a statement. The report found no evidence that Philbin was aware of abusive conduct within the team. Several people interviewed told investigators Turner gave McDonald a male sex doll as a gag gift around Christmas 2012. Turner told investigators he didnt remember the incident, but investigators said they didnt believe him. Martin told investigators ONeill and other team employees saw an assistant trainer being humiliated and didnt intervene. ONeill allegedly laughed at racial insults directed toward the assistant trainer. ONeill was the Dolphins trainer for 18 years and has been in the NFL for 25 years. He and his Miami staff won national awards, including one last year from the National Athletic Trainers Association. Turner joined the Dolphins shortly after Philbin was hired as head coach two years ago. ' ' '
