Led by 36 points from James Harden, the Rockets survived a valiant effort from the host Nets and blew open Tuesday's game late in a 123-113 win at Brooklyn. Now 39-13, the Rockets are off to their best start through 52 games in franchise history and have won nine of their past 10 games since Harden's return from a hamstring injury. - Our postgame show breaks down all the key storylines, headlined by remarkably efficient efforts from Harden (11-of-23 FG) and Chris Paul (25 points, 8 rebounds, 9-of-15 FG) on a night when the Rockets' lethargic defense needed it most. Harden also passed the 15,000-point milestone for his NBA career in the victory. - We also explore the right ankle sprain suffered by Ryan Anderson and the roles of Gerald Green (18 points, 6-of-8 FG in 18 minutes) and Eric Gordon (13 points, 5-of-9 FG in 28 minutes returning from a back injury) off the bench in filling those minutes. - #Rockets #NBA #Nets - Learn more about your ad choices.
