In the first two games of this Western Conference playoff series, Houston's Nene had scored just 26 combined points as James Harden and Lou Williams primarily fueled the Rockets' offense.
But Sunday in Game 4, with Harden suffering from an ankle injury that limited his drives to the basket, the veteran from Brazil provided Houston with an inside scoring punch off the bench.
He was 12 for 12 from the floor, tying an NBA record for most field goals without a miss in a postseason game to help Houston beat Oklahoma City 113-109 at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
