The Houston Rockets managed to end a two-game losing streak by outlasting the Toronto Raptors 110-104 in two overtimes at the Toyota Center.
Houston could have won the game in the first overtime but a confusing strategy gave the Raptors chance to bury a three-pointer in the last few seconds. The Rockets didn't make the same mistake in the second overtime, and finally manage to edge their opponents Monday, reports Xinhua.
Jeremy Lin led the Rockets with 31 points off the bench. He shot 10 of 17 from the field and hit eight of nine from the free throw line.
James Harden scored 26 points. Chandler Parsons had 18 points, five rebounds and five assists. Dwight Howard grabbed 18 points and 24 rebounds, but he was just 4 of 12 in free throw.
