This game was there for the taking, but the Rockets refused to take it. Four First Names (4FN) or Paul Clifton Anthony George (thought I was kidding didn’t you) had just enough of his special elite toughness against bad teams to bring Clippy a much needed win.
The game ended with an Eric Gordon dribble into turnover (by 4FN) and a three point make by George for the tie. This was followed by a tough make by PG13 against Gordon for the lead, and then a Gordon basket attack (rather than pass to a three?) that was almost certainly a foul, and almost certainly wasn’t going to be called, for the loss.
