Takeaways from Rockets’ Game 3 collapse

The Houston Rockets held a five-point lead with 59.7 seconds left to go in Game 3 versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. But an epic choke job, a comedy of errors, and an eventual foul-out by Harden would give the Thunder a 119-107 win in overtime and their first win of the series.

There are some really big positives for the Rockets this game, including taking a commanding 12-point lead early in the first half, more suffocating defense, and dominating the paint early on — 16 of their first 19 points came in the lane.
