The Rockets needed overtime, but they finished the job tonight as they beat the Bulls 121-117. The Rockets surrendered a double digit lead for the second straight night, but tonight they were able to still get the win.
The win was lead by the efforts of James Harden, for a change. His 42 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists lead the way. He was as clutch as he has ever been, hitting step back jumpers to tie the game in the fourth quarter at 108, and to take the lead for good in overtime on an and-one with 36 seconds to go.
