HOUSTON — Houston’s coaching staff emphasized to the players that Boston led the league in fourth-quarter scoring.
So when they Rockets found themselves down by six entering the final frame they knew they’d have step things up to escape with a win.
Harden made sure they did that, scoring 13 of his 37 points in the fourth before Al Horford missed a shot just before the buzzer to allow the Rockets to hold on for a 107-106 victory Monday night.
