Rockets come back to beat Hawks 132-126 behind D.J.Augustin, David Nwaba

Yes, D.J. Augustin and David Nwaba. You heard that correctly.

The Houston Rockets were down for most of the night, falling behind by as many as 19 at one point, but they hung close enough in the third before Augustin and Nwaba took over the game in the fourth to spring Houston to a 132-126 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

Augustin finished the game with 22 points on 7-9 shooting from the field and 6-7 from deep, and 16 of those points and four of those triples came in the fourth quarter. Augustin also scored 5 straight points to give Houston their first lead since the opening quarter with 3:44 left to go in the game, and he also hit two clutch free throws in the closing seconds.
