Houston Rockets’ faithful, twenty-five years ago to the date tomorrow, the greatest shot in Rockets history happened. It came from Mario Elie in a critical playoff game in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Phoenix Suns’ as Houston was bound to make a run to defend their championship from the previous season.
Rockets fans, today should be a national holiday. If by national, you mean everywhere but Phoenix, then we’ll take it. But in all seriousness, today is the 25th anniversary of by far the greatest shot in Houston Rockets history.
