    What Tucker did those minutes Clint and Nene were sitting was INCREDIBLE. He almost singlehandedly checked Cousins, he is a ****ing defensive MONSTER.

    Clint was incredible tonight. When he gets angry/hyped. Wow. He becomes a completely different player.

    Harden played very cool, calm, collected. CP3 leading the bench unit is unbelievable. What a team.

    He had 12 points. 12 straight points.

    3:31 Harden makes 2 of 3 free throws
    2:47 Harden makes driving layup
    2:08 Harden makes 27-foot three pointer
    0:50 Harden makes 26-foot three pointer
    0:34 Harden makes 2 of 2 free throws

    add to that 12 Clutch Time points this

    4:01 Capela dunk from Harden
    that's 14 straight points by Harden. Capela also had a 5:49 Dunk from Harden

    I wish I had NBATV to see what they are saying. crazy game. the will of CP3 and PJ and the death lineup brought the Rockets back and Harden finished it off. With Harden limping, I didn't think he was going to be able to do it. Iron chef.

    Clint's defense on Cousins in the 4th was amazing! Our boy has grown up!

    EG & the Capela/Harden combo kept us in the game in the first half, CP3 saved us with his offensive run the 3rd along with PJ's defense on Boogie. Everyone turned up on defense (especially Capela and EG) in the 4th and Harden led us to the holy win with the ICEEEE.

    Majestic.

    Props to the Pels they were unreal tonight.

    Clint would not be denied tonight. Bootay needs to get in the gym and work on that corner three. No excuse when you’re that wide open

    I don't even know how the **** we won this game...

    Holiday 16-21 from the field and Moore 15-20

    Rondo also got a triple double (13-12-12) and i didn't even notice him much on the court

    Pelicans bench with just 3 points though...

    Gordon shut me up tonight. Incredible game from him.

    Also Capela bounced back big time after getting clowned by Cousins in the first quarter.

    Great game

    James is an elite closer. CP3 is as well. What a blessing to have both
