Great game of James Harden, Houston Rockets' victory in Canada

Houston Rockets have won with Toronto Raptors 107: 95. The victory of the Texas team was decided in the fourth quarter, in which their leader, James Harden, brilliantly played. This is Rockets' sixth consecutive win, their longest positive streak in the season.

Climbing in the hierarchy of the Western Conference teams, the Houston Rockets were facing a difficult task. A match in Canada with the Toronto Raptors did not seem like an easy one, especially since Raptors did not lose any of the previous seven games in front of their own audience.

The guests focused mainly on throws for three, in the whole match, performing as many as 34 and hitting 15. This tactic allowed them to win the first quarter 23:19, and at the halfway point they were leading as much as 55:37. In the second half, Rockets scored a 19:4 point series. This was the worst offensive in the Toronto season this season.

Other important arguments in favour of Rockets were points from the quick attack - in this way Houston scored as many as 23 points (rivals scored only seven). There was no temporary crisis that broke into the ranks of guests in the third part of the meeting.

Of the first 12 throws from the game in the third quarter, Rockets missed 11. Raptors used the worse period of the Rockets' and after Pascal Siakama's basket led 60:59, although in the earlier course of the skirmishes they were worse by as much as 22 points.

Before the last quarter, the only Canadian team in the NBA won the difference of one basket 71:69. In the last 12 minutes, James Harden played phenomenally, who only in this part of the game scored 19 points (in the entire match 35). He was assisted by Gerald Green who scored 11 points in the fourth quarter (18 in general).

Houston Rockets' sixth victory is to equalize their best streak in this regular round. The Toronto Raptors lost their first time at home since January and for the first time in the regular season suffered defeat by playing the match on Tuesday (apart from that failure on this day the Dinosaurs won nine times).
