Rockets guard Eric Gordon shot past his playing-time restriction on Saturday with none of the difficulties that marked the 20 minutes he played in his first game back from his bruised right knee. Gordon played 32 minutes, sinking the game-tying 3-pointer with two seconds left and scoring 10 points in overtime.
"I play 30-something minutes a night," Gordon said. "For me to feel good today going forward is a big step.
"The injury I was dealing with was tough. You have to see where your body is. When I go out there and play, I don't really worry about my body and all that.
