I don’t know what to say. I really don’t. Like so many of you who stayed up to watch it, I’m still in stunned disbelief.
This was the greatest comeback in a single game I’ve ever seen from the Houston Rockets.
I know what that means. I watched this franchise bounce back from 20 points down to win Game 1 of the NBA Finals twenty years ago, but that was a first-half deficit with several more games guaranteed to follow. For these Rockets, there was no tomorrow.
To understand how great this comeback was, you have to first understand how truly behind they were.
