Description
Despite a combined 2-of-15 start, starting guards James Harden (28/10/8) and Gerald Green (15 points) each had dagger three-pointers in the final 20 seconds on Friday night, rallying the Rockets to a 104-103 home win over the Phoenix Suns.With the win, the Rockets (62-14) extended their current winning streak to 11 games. They've won 28 of their past 29 and 32 of their past 34, and their "magic number" to clinch home-court advantage throughout the NBA playoffs over Toronto is down to only one.P.J. Tucker (6-of-9 FG) had 18 points on a career-high five made three-pointers, while Joe Johnson (5-of-10 FG) had 16 points in just 21 minutes — including 14 in a critical stretch in the final four minutes of the third quarter, when Houston cut the lead from 18 to 11.Our postgame recap explores how persistence paid off for Green, Harden, and other Rockets, who kept shooting and playing hard despite a very sluggish start in the first half and a lack of playmakers with Chris Paul and Eric Gordon each out as part of Houston's planned maintenance program heading into the postseason.
