    Letting Harden and Lin rest was definitely crucial. They were able to amp it back up thanks to it. Especially Harden!

    Team was clearly off playing a back to back. Couldn't sink buckets for most of the night.

    However, on the road, dodgy officiating, and steal the win stopping the Wolves' home winning streak.

    Sometimes you gotta win ugly.

    I'll take it. :grin:

    Good thing coach didn't put Toney in for the "better defensive matchup" :grin:

    Good win for the Rockets tonight. We didn't get out and run or really play our game and still pulled out a victory. It makes me worry about future games where our legs are tired though. Might need to deepen the bench somehow. Getting Patterson back may help but we need more help at guard really. TD was turrible tonight.

    The Rockets didn't steal anything. The only reason this game was close was the bad officiating for all but 4-5 minutes in the game.

    This type of game says a ton about how much this team has changed.

    They gutted it out to keep it close near the end and then James Harden took control. Having a guy that can do that for your team is incredibly important.

    Last season this game would have ended with K-mart getting stripped before he took a shot or not getting a call resulting in a lost.

    It feels so good to have a closer!

    Harden put us on his back and carried us to a win in the 4th quarter tonight. He is a true superstar. Top five player in the NBA at age 23.

    Kudos to the 2nd unit for getting us back in the game all while allowing the big guns to rest for the finish.

    can't say the rockets haven't beaten anyone the last 3 games could have ended up 1-2 possibly 0-3 if the bulls showed up like they normally do.

    Give him a break. He was probably gassed and everybody has a bad game.

    At least he hit that killer jump shot at the end and forced Barea to turn it over.

    This feels good. Can't emphasize how much Harden just carried us tonight. Nearly 20 points in the 4th quarter.
