    Webber really is harping on the Jazz still being in this game. They both keep mixing up the Rockets and Jazz.

    That's one of the best defensive halves from Capela I've seen. He's just been a rock in the paint.

    I’m sorry, but if you’re worried about Utah in the 1st round then that’s just not a good look

    Lot of excellent moments this half. I think my favorite was the Harden-to-Gordon fast break. It was a textbook 2-on-1 fast break, and you just don't see that too much anymore. Love it.

    Looks like the Rockets are peaking at the right time.....right in the first round of the playoffs.

    Health withstanding, the 2018-2019 nba champs.

    Man that OKC loss really put a flame under this team! This is best we've looked all year!

    Gawd that was beautiful. Defense on point, Harden playmaking, Gordon and Tucker hit their 3s, playoff Capela activated.....

    That was quite literally what the Rockets look like meeting their full potential and it was glorious

    Capela better learn to shoot 3s before the warriors series or else we’re toast.

    I’ve called Capela soft on multiple occasions this year....but he is proving me wrong Big tonight.

    Clint is playing so much better this game, Harden, PJ and EG are just incredible. The bench is not as sharp defensively this game, giving up way too many open looks to O'Neal

    Good ending to the half. Expecting 3s will cool down second half, need to play smart.

    I’m glad Coach Snyder hasn’t noticed. ;)

    Gotta thank them for providing a great cautionary lesson about taking your foot off the gas.
