We did it!
For the first time since 2009, more than six years ago, your Houston Rockets are going to advance to the 2nd round!
I knew this day was eventually going to come and I’m absolutely thrilled that the day has arrived!
This was a closeout game at home with all of the variables in the Rockets’ favor.
They needed to finish this series here and not go back to Dallas for Game 6 because had the Mavericks won, then it would’ve been a best-of-three series.
The Rockets could’ve been potentially backed into a corner where anything could happen and the series could’ve slipped through their hands.
