    The title is very misleading. And you'd have to compare the Rockets 4th quarter performances against how all the other team's 4th quarters to have a better indicator if they "fold" or not. Which apparently they don't seem to do, fold that is. Nor do the Rockets really ever get blown out.

    It is something of a telling stat though. Trailing after the 3rd quarter = No win. How many fans who pay to see the game would like to know that stat if the Rockets happen to be down? :) It does inject a boost of confidence in a team to have a come from behind win. Those who followed the Astros last year knew once they were behind after the 7th inning they were done for cuz of their terrible hitting. And when they finally did pull off a come from behind victory they started thinking they had a shot at the playoffs. So I'm hoping the Rockets can reverse that stat a couple times.
