The Rockets opened up their title chase with an OT win over the Mavericks. James Harden led the way but the teams overall performance leaves me with concerns.
Thanks to James Harden the Rockets took the W last night, but there were several warning lights flashing in the victory. Dallas is a solid team but they’re definitely a notch below the true contenders in the west. Last night’s performance begs the question of whether or not the Rockets are as well.
