Yeah, you can't complain about the D on the last possession. They denied the 3-point shot for 10 seconds and then Lin forced Dragic to adjust before shooting it with almost no time left.
**** you Jon Barry. He was the most annoying former Rocket player all night. You know he was open enough. Lin sagged off their best 3PT shooter (most clutch player and last player you want to shoot the three on the floor) enough to make this place hell for the next few days. Just be glad he missed.
In case anyone is interested, Bev's previous game high was 19 vs the Clippers.

The free throws made a HUGE difference! We made 28 of 32, 87.5%!!!! Last game vs GSW, it was 16 of 25 for 64%.
Can Lin score 30+ and lose a game? Sure can. Dragic just proved he's Lin. LOL. Good Job Dragic. Nobody who knows anything misses you.
Big win, big win. We desperately needed this and you know Phoenix wanted this game bad. They played good enough to win but no question DMo's D is needed in these games. And Beverly just moved up another level. I think this game will have an impact onhim going forward.
Bad calls go both ways. That 4th foul on Harden that took him out of the game in the 3rd quarter was bogus.
This team is starting to win tough games. A couple more gutsy wins like this and we might even be able to say this team is...tough! Who would have thought!?
Yes, actually about five guys were in the lane early, Rockets and Suns players. The Refs just decided on swallowing their whistles.
Luckily we won. Those offensive rebounds were killing us. Plus turnovers. I guess just normal day for us never mind.
I always say that I hate sports in TV shows (Friday Night Lights, One Tree Hill, etc.) because every game seemingly comes down to the last second. I argue, "That's not how it is in real life!" Thanks for proving me wrong, Houston!
The Suns are lucky they hit Luck shots to keep them in the game and then grab anyone they can to get to the loose balls with no calls on them. So call it even:grin:
The W looks the same as the others in the win column. It wasn't pretty but on the road you are just trying to win baby!
