The Houston Rockets played like they needed to – desperate. Here’s the player grades.
The Houston Rockets are in a must win scenario pretty much every game now if the want to secure their playoff spot. Tonight Harden’s triple-double propelled them to a victory, but trust me when I tell you the zebra’s get a huge assist on the night. For them to toss both of Toronto’s super stars when Harden was complaining equally as much is completely unprofessional and unacceptable.
It was Kyle Lowry’s 30th birthday and once again the Raptors couldn’t win in Houston. I will say if I was the Raptors management I’d be lodging a formal complaint over how this game was officiated. The crazy thing was even with tossing the Raptors top two stars and Harden’s triple-double it was touch and go whether the Rockets would pull this one out.
Still, the Raptors don’t need the win, the Rockets do. So, we’ll take it and move on to the next game.
