NBA - Streaking Rockets deal Miami it's first loss of the season


PhilBoxing.com


MIAMI- The Houston Rockets used a 18-5 run late in the fourth-quarter to hand Miami it's first loss of the season 108-91.

James Harden led the way with a near triple-double effort of 25 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds. Dwight Howard added a game-high 26 points for unbeaten Rockets.

Houston was ahead only by four, 90-86, in the final seven minutes but Harden and Ariza put together a mini run that extended the advantage to 12..

The Heat were held without a field goal until a Shawne Williams jumper with 1:14 minutes left in the game stopped the bleeding. By then, it was too late.

Chris Bosh scored 21 points and grabbed 8 rebounds for Miami while Dwayne Wade chipped in 19 points and Mario Chalmers added 14 points in a losing cause.

"That's tough at the end," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra spoke to NBA.com after the game . "Probably more mental breakdowns than anything else physically going down the stretch. ... You do have to credit them. They don't make it easy. They have a high-octane offense."

Houston has now won it's first five games of the season with four of those games on the road. The last time they started the year at 5-0 was the 1996-97 season.

The Rockets will now host the defending champion San Antonio Spurs Thursday.
