Harden saves his best for last

Houston's coaching staff emphasized to the players that Boston led the league in fourth-quarter scoring.

So when the Rockets found themselves down by six points entering the final frame, they knew they'd have to step things up to escape with a win.

Harden made sure of it by 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 on Monday night.
