Four of them here in the fourth. Mark we can fall in love with what james harden is doing in the Fourth Quarter but coach said, its the bench guys. With their energy level on the offensive end. Mike 1 00 remaining. Waiters, back on harden. Harden, the drive. Waiters pokes it away, but called for a reachin. They had a foul to give. Mark if im okc, im not having james harden playing oneonone with waiters. Good job by waiters, but i need to find a way to get the ball out of his hands. Mike durant, switching out on harden. Capela. Inside. Lays it in. Jeff you have to foul him. Hes one of the worst free throw shooters in the league. You cant just let him lay it up. Mike a sixpoint lead, timeout, okc. Jeff what a great play by harden. Good attack by capela. But ibaka has to take that or block the shot. The intelligent, allnew audi a4 is here. Aint got time to make no apologies.

So hurry in to mcdonalds and play today mike thunder with a bit of a problem right now. As they trail by six, with 42. 2 remaining. Look at the rockets in the Fourth Quarter. Throwing up 30 points on the board, 10 of 17 from the field. And harden, with 14 of those 30 points in the period. Harden, with 38 points, 8 assists. Okc down to one timeout remaining. Its a 132 run in the last 5 00 for the rockets. Both teams, no foul to give. Durant, ariza on his trail. Pass stolen by harden. Beverley throws it down a huge fourthquarter comeback for houston. Such an important game, as they fight for a playoff spot in the west. And okc calls their final timeout. Mark we talked about taking the challenge defensively. Thats harden reading and reacting. And to beverley, he does the rest. But it started on the defensive end. Harden has been spectacular, offensively, and on that trip, defensively. Mike beverley, all fired up. A couple of big buckets here in the fourth. As you said earlier, mark, you look at capela. And goudelock, mcdaniels. The young guys, they were down by 12 in the third quarter, looked like they werent ready for a comeback. The youth and energy got them right back in the game. Anthony morrow will inbound. The referee checks, says, lets go. Dallas on the verge of a victory this afternoon. So this win, even more important. Adams, rebound. Morrow, fouled by capela. On a threepoint attempt. Capela has just fouled out. Capela, an excellent game. His stats, nine points, four rebounds. And six blocked shots. Jeff he was terrific. If im oklahoma city, im going to make all three, and grab howard as the third free throw is in the air, to make him shoot the free throws at the other end. Mark its called taking advantage of the rules. Mike morrow, not taking advantage of the freethrow line opportunity. Capela fouls out for the third time this season. Capela, only 21 years old. Jeff hes come so far. Theyve done a great job here with him in houston. Mike capela, whose parents are from angola and the congo. But he was born in switzerland. High school years in paris and france. Now, in his second year in the nba in houston. Morrow hits 2 of 3. And j. B. Bickerstaff is going to use one of his timeouts. Sixpoint game, 25. 1 remaining. Its usually a lot of time. But the thunder, out of timeouts. Mark imagine if capela talked about getting the basketball. No, hes impacting the basketball game. And the ball is finding him. Off the stellar play making ability of harden, but not just that. Defending, finishing, crashing the defensive boards. Energy, enthusiasm, and execution. Hes had an impact on the basketball game, and kept his teams playoff hopes alive. Mike howard, getting in some foul trouble in the fourth, but capela accesteps in and does th job. There are stretches where they look so good, and could beat anybody. But stretches where the energy isnt there, and the body language is not right. Its been a strange season for them. Jeff yes. But j. B. Bickerstaff going deep into his bench to find mcdaniels, goudelock, finding energy. They were just playing ball versus worrying about who has the ball. Mark and deserves a lot of credit. He could have stayed with the older guys, but he made the right changes, and it gave them a chance to win the ball game. Mike mcdaniels defense, a part of it as well down the stretch. Michael beasley comes back in. Mcdaniels now sitting down. Terry is as well. Getting some free throw shooters in there. Ibaka will guard the inbound. Thunder, going for the steal. And durant, called for the foul. Mark tough call. Looked like james harden, using that wisdom again to grab kevin durant. Mike and its away from the play foul. Jeff one shot, and the ball out of bounds. Mike yup. Mark really, thats harden grabbing the arm of kevin durant. Mike hes so good at that. Thats what kevin durant was trying to say. So, it will be the one free throw, and then possession again. Mark the toughest guy, maybe in the history of the game, to referee. With the contact that happens, isolation, pick and roll in the seams. A lot of times, he gets fouled, no question. But there are a lot of times where he creates the contact. Mike harden, now with 39. Gets it. And roberson, grabs him. Thats after the inbound. Thats why it was away from the play, because the ball hadnt been inbounded. Now, harden, with a chance to get to the 40point mark. Mark people say it works for him. But it also works against him. I guarantee referees look at the film, and say, i missed that call. And theyre going to look at the film, and say, i didnt give them that call, the same amount of times. Jeff i think theres no doubt that despite his high free throw attempt numbers, they could be higher. Mike well, hes got 40 today. 11 of 13 from the freethrow line. 9 assists. Jeff and some knucklehead will post on youtube when he doesnt guard one time. No, seriously. Instead of posting every spectacular play the guy makes. Mike you admit, sometimes his defense is poor. Mark hes a great player, and he can play for me any day of the week. Mike morrow, in and out. Westbrook banks in the follow. Sevenpoint game, with 11. 3 remaining. And the thunder, still battling. More free throws to wrap it up. Howard, engaging some of the fans. J. B. Bickerstaff, urging his team all afternoon. Play better defense. Boy, he got it in the fourth. Mark one thing you need to look at if youre okc, its a pattern of losing ball games when you have the lead going into the Fourth Quarter. You need to find a way to fix it. Jeff and despite the individual confidence in themselves, the team confidence, to be able to execute under pressure, it can take a hit when you continually lose leads. Mike westbrook trying to draw the foul. Gets it to waiters. Waiters throws it down. Sixpoint game, 5. 7 remaining. Thunder not giving up. And a foul on beasley. You would think the thunder, the way theyre playing, this game is meaningless to them. Theyre going to be the third spot in the west. But still fighting. Jeff but the chance to improve, the chance to grow. Into being what, theyre feeling good about their chances to win it all. And tonight, the turnovers, to me, are the big problem. When they play with high turnovers, they have 20 tonight so far. No team can withstand that against the great teams in the west. Mike beasley hits those. This is james harden. With another huge game against his former team. Westbrook lost it. That will do it. A muchneeded victory. Fourthquarter come back for harden and the rockets. Harden, 41 points, 9 assists. Continues to put up staggering numbers. And j. B. Bickerstaffs team, able to get the win. Kevin durant had 33. Westbrook, an assist shy of a tripledouble. Dallas winning. And houston winning. Utah, right now, 3838. So, the rockets, right now, a halfgame back of the final playoff spot in the east. Harden is with lisa. Lisa james, you guys went on a run in the last 6 00 that really sealed it. What sparked it . Its win or go home. Literally. Were fighting for a playoff spot, so every game and every minute and every possession counts. We need a win every game, and tonight was big. Lisa how were you able to keep kevin and russell from damaging you . Well, its a team effort and our guys did great. Lisa what impressed you about capela today . He comes off the bench, brings excitement to the game. Its his first year, all he knows is play hard. And thats what we need. A really good game tonight. Lisa congratulations. Mike .
