James Nunnally’s 3-pointer to give them the seven-point lead was the third 3-point possession of overtime for the Rockets and looked like a dagger.īut Brooklyn closed on a torrid run, scoring from outside, in the paint and at the line with 10 unanswered points from that point on. The Rockets took control early in overtime and looked well on their way to a win, leading 142-135 with 1:28 remaining in the extra session. It was one of a new NBA record 70 3-point attempts on the night from the Rockets, who hit 23 of them. Harden had a chance to win the game in regulation, but his step-back 3 missed on the other end. Houston needed them both to force the extra session, as Spencer Dinwiddie hit his second 3-pointer in as many possessions that tied the game. Harden barreled into the paint to snag the offensive rebound and earn his own trip to the line, where he hit both free throws. Tucker missed a pair of free throws with Houston leading 129-128 with 15.2 seconds remaining.
Two of Harden’s biggest points came in the final seconds of regulation after P.J. James Harden had a big night, but the Nets earned the win.
