Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni unbeaten when coaching on his birthday

Told he has never lost a game on his birthday, Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, who turned 67 on Tuesday, joked "that's a big factor, yeah."

Just two days after Chris Paul and Ryan Anderson were plastered with birthday cake, D'Antoni was asked if he brought a poncho.

"I'm quick," he said. "I'm nimble."
