Usually, the Rockets are the team that gives up a big lead, but on Thursday night, they made the big comeback.
The Rockets looked like a team on the second night of a back to back in the first half against the Miami Heat. They gave up open looks from beyond the arc and Miami’s guards were able to get into the paint at will.
Houston trailed 69-55 at halftime and Miami increased the lead to 21 points early in the third quarter. Fortunately, the Rockets made a run before the game slipped away.
Gary Clark, who started in place of Eric Gordon, nailed a 3-pointer off of a James Harden assist with 8:24 left in the third.
