After securing the second seed in the Western Conference heading into the 2015 playoffs, the Houston Rockets looked dead in the water against the LA Clippers in round two. Facing a must-win Game 6, the Rockets found themselves down by 19 late in the third quarter in front of a hostile Los Angeles crowd.
As the third quarter was winding down, something remarkable happened. With their superstar, James Harden, resting on the bench, Houston mounted a comeback led by Corey Brewer and Josh Smith. After struggling from the field all game long, suddenly the Rockets couldn’t miss from the outside, going on a massive 23-2 run to stun a Clippers team seemingly looking ahead to Golden State.
