Description
Eric Gordon led the Rockets with 22 points and 5 assists in a lethargic 100-96 overtime win on Thursday night over the Pistons (32-40). With the win, the Rockets (57-14) remain effectively five games up on the Warriors and Raptors with only 10 to play in the race for the league's best record and home-court advantage throughout the NBA playoffs.James Harden was uncharacteristically inefficient with 21 points on 4-of-20 shooting, but he scored 10 points in overtime (on 50% shooting) to will Houston to the victory. The Rockets entered the game coming off a brutal three-game road trip in four nights to New Orleans, Minnesota, and Portland, including a grueling win Tuesday over the Blazers, and seemingly had tired legs all over the roster.Chris Paul sat out with minor left hamstring soreness, while Luc Mbah a Moute departed after playing just seven minutes with tendonitis in his left knee.Our postgame show explores those storylines and more, including the importance of Mike D'Antoni beginning a rest program for his regulars.
