We are 24-13, I've always noticed that the first three quarters dicide the game of rox. We were 24-4 when we hold the lead into the 4th quarter, but we were 0-9 when we had a deficit after the 3rd quarter. when we led by 3 vs Denvers, I know we would win that game, stats may be not quite right, but it talks.
Rockets is a decent team right now, they can win with lead into 4th quarter or without. Rockets even trailed by 6 with only 3 minutes left in 4th quarter today, but they still won. That's it!
David Stern said the same thing in an interview with Jim Rome at the start of the season. It just shows that basketball is more than a 4th quarter game.
indeed. i hate it when people say "just watch the second half" or "just watch the 4th". how you start the game, how you finish the first half, how you start the second half, and how you finish the game are all equally important to the final result.
no, i actually think 4th quarter decide the game for rox. i remember in the begining of the year, rox would have a huge lead and blow it off in the 4th. Now, it seems like they have finally learn how to play 4th quarter basketball.
