It seemed like just the other day that the Houston Rockets were all the way down in the No. 15 seed in the West and the season was looking lost. They were 11-14 and only better than the Suns in the Conference and the injuries were piling up.
Thankfully, James Harden (along with some great signings by Daryl Morey and Co.) saved the year by going on a historical run of scoring. They have worked all the way back to the No. 3 seed and have a chance to catch No. 2 in the standings if certain factors happen.
