Effort! Harden running out two consecutive shot clocks! Overtime! This game had it all, for better or for worse.
What the Rockets season has lacked is... well, like so many things. Made shots. Defense. Wins. But, what I would argue is that more than anything else, this Rockets season has lacked effort. I can't really decide if the Rockets shook that off, or if they just beat a bad team, but either way, Houston earned their 7th win of the season against the New York Knicks, 116-111.
You can't coach effort. Or, at least Kevin McHale and JB Bickerstaff haven't been able to.
