Description

James Harden and Chris Paul combined for 65 points on over 50% shooting in Miami as the undermanned Rockets (40-13) finished off a perfect four-game road trip with an improbable 109-101 victory over the Heat (29-26).The Rockets, off to their best start in franchise history, have now caught the Warriors (41-13) in the loss column for the NBA's best record and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. Houston holds the tiebreaker after winning two of three in the regular-season series.Our postgame show examines those leading angles and much more, including an injury update as Ryan Anderson (ankle) and Eric Gordon (back) each sat out with minor issues. With Houston not arriving to its Miami hotel until 3:45 a.m. local time, Mike D'Antoni opted not to push any of his regulars with nagging injuries on a back-to-back scenario and on reduced sleep. On the second half of the show (25:40), we preview tomorrow's trade deadline and the potential for any movement by the Rockets — including potential small moves involving the likes of Tarik Black and Troy Williams, as well as why trading Anderson now probably isn't necessary to pursue LeBron James this summer.Reminder: Wednesday's show is sponsored by Draft.
