The impossible has come to pass for the Houston Rockets as they become the ninth NBA team to overcome a 3-1 series deficit in the playoffs. This scenario is simply put "the will to win over the skill to win." After analyzing a series like the Clippers & Rockets, it is quite fair to say that the Houston Rockets were the better team. The minute the Rockets decided they wanted it more they worked for it. A relentless defensive effort in Game 6 led them to a 4th quarter 40-15 scoring run that forced Game 7 yesterday afternoon. In that Game 7 contest, The Rockets destroyed the Clippers morale with three-point field goal after field goal, leaving Clippers fans sour as they watch yet another debacle from their Los Angeles beloved. MVP runner-up James Harden gave the Toyota Center something to cheer for with his 31 point outing (15 coming from the free throw line) and 8 assist. He was aided by Forward Trevor Ariza, who added 22 points to the Rockets output that concluded in a 100-113 victory for Houston. "They always overlook us" Harden told Doris Burke in the post-game interview. In the post-game press conference, Rockets head coach Kevin Mchale expressed with jovial demeanor that the three game winning streak came from fundamental principalities. The "just have fun" approach manifested itself one game at a time, as the Rockets made history dear to their franchise and NBA fans worldwide.
Houston will match-up against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Western Conference Finals round. The injury inhibited Rockets failed to defeat the Warriors out of four tries in the season. Surely, critics may make mention of this particular statistic, but it isn't something favorable to those suspecting the surreal driven Rockets to fold at this point in the season. They're destined to make their presence felt, regardless of those who count them out. Harden is definitely hungry for a Western Conference title and a chance to show NBA fans why he deserved the MVP award in 2015.
