In a frantic final minute of action that featured a flagrant one on James Harden, a sprained ankle for Eric Gordon, a tackle of Montrezl Harrell and ultimately a ball-don’t-lie miss at the buzzer by Al Horford, the Rockets managed to hang on and defeat the Celtics 107 - 106 at the Toyota Center to move to 14 - 7 on the season.
James Harden finished with 37 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, but also committed 10 turnovers, including a huge one that resulted in a flagrant one with just 15 seconds left and the Rockets up 107 - 104.
