Los Angeles (AFP) - Brazil's Nene drained two clutch free throws with 0.7 seconds left on the clock to lift the Houston Rockets to a 118-116 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
James Harden nearly had a triple-double for the Rockets with 26 points, eight rebounds and 12 assists as Nene added a season-high 18 points.
All five Rockets starters on Thursday scored in double figures and Eric Gordon came off the bench to score 22.
The game-deciding drama started with an inbounds play with three seconds left. Nene set a screen for Harden and drove to the basket.
