With seven minutes and five seconds left in the Miami Heat’s game against the Houston Rockets, James Harden made a layup. He had scored his 32nd and 33rd points of the game and put the Rockets up one. Miami was yet again in a close game (this one featured 19 lead changes), and seemed at risk of losing yet another hard-fought game in what has become a lost season.
Fortunately for Heat fans, the team pulled it out Tuesday night. And this performance reminded fans that while a high draft pick could turn around the fortunes of this franchise, a win every once in a while feels good, too.
