    Channels like classic sports and NBA.com tv wont put a game like this on cause they are busy putting on repeats a hundred time a year instead of showing a variety of great games.

    It's all a part of a conspiracy by the man to keep the masses from knowing the great history of the Rockets !

    This was truly one of the greatest finishes and games in NBA history bar none! As Clutch wrote big Ralph Sampson poured in 28 points on 11-18 shooting grabbed 18 boards and blocked an incredible 13 shots! Damn the roof must have been caving in with all those blocks. Also Lewis lloyd scored 31 points, Mitchell Wiggins scored 16 and Chicago Bull Orlando woolridge scored 19. The score was tied at 112-112 with 1 second left. The Rockets imbounded and threw the ball to Caldwell Jones and he shot a 3 pointer at the buzzer! What an incredible finish. I wish I could see that game on videotape.

    Also this day in Rockets history

    Dec 9 1993 heat at Rockets
    Vernon Maxwell hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer to tie the game and the Rockets won in overtime. I watched this game live and I have it on videotape. Maxwell got the pass and threw up a fadaway falling out of balence, it was just an incredible shot from Vern and he hit a couple more like that in his career.
