Offense wins games, but defense wins championships. And if the Rockets win the championship next month, last night’s Game 4 will be seen as one of the greatest wins in franchise history.
Regardless of how this season ends, it is still one of the most impressive wins in Rockets history. The team made history last night by winning a playoff game in Oakland for the first time ever and reclaimed homecourt advantage in the series.
With the team’s 41-point loss on Sunday scoring an abysmal 85 points, the Rockets needed to come out and score, score, score.
