James Harden would not let the Rockets lose, not a game like this. And all it took was for the Rockets to score 159 points.
With no one stopping anyone, with 3s falling and drives ending at the rim, Harden kept scoring and scoring until the Rockets finally got a stop and just enough scoring to finally score just enough.
After Russell Westbrook drove to a three-point play after a Harden slam missed, giving the Rockets a lead with 32.4 seconds left, Ben McLemore finally came up with the defensive stand the Rockets for so long needed.
