Harden-less Rockets silence doubters, defeat Warriors 118-112

The Rockets shook the basketball world Saturday night after beating the Warriors in a 118-112 triumph.

Houston was written off pre-game after the news that James Harden would sit tonight’s game with a cervical strain.

However, the Rockets did not listen to the noise.

The team started the game on the right foot, leading 15-0 after the first four minutes. The lead jumped to as high as 20 in the first half as the Rockets shocked the Warriors.

The Rockets grabbed the lead thanks in large part to Chris Paul, the team’s leader with Harden out of the lineup.
