    Under 40% shooting for both teams

    Knicks missed their final six shots

    Three clanks from the FT line by the Rockets in the closing minutes

    20 turnovers by Houston

    Ahhh....that takes me back to the GOOD OLE' days of the '94 Finals

    Couple more notes:

    From the "stats don't tell the whole story" department, Mo Taylor didn't have many rebounds, but he had the most important one on that Knicks miss before the game winning shot by Cat...

    Also, not to take anything away from Cat, but It was Steve that started the 4th Quarter comeback with a 3 pointer when Houston was down by ten, and also had a clutch jumper a couple possessions later...

    It was a team effort, it wasn't one player that got us this win, it was the team collectively. It worked both way, Mobley may not have got a chance to win the game if Francis doesn't have that great game, but Francis great 4th quarter wouldn't have meant much if Mobley doesn't hit the shot so it was a team effort.

    Something I thought was interesting . . . CNNSI had a caption on a pic of Charlie Ward guarding Francis and it said that "Charlie Ward held Steve Francis in check"

    When I saw that, I went "WTF!??, Francis almost had a triple double!"

    hehe, they must've realized their oversight because now they are finally giving stevie his props.
