    Jalen's end of quarter possessions resemble a lot of his late game selection.

    It did but it could have just as easily cost us a layup...lucked up because it was lazy play.

    This is an extremely important 4th quarter for the rest of our playoff push. We need to stay aggressive on both ends and win this thing.

    Green not making smart plays. How are you going to run into a crowd then travel and force a shot with time on the clock

    Please Lord don't let Ant cook us in the fourth. We have to play in Utah tomorrow and losing this first game would be brutal.

    I dont like Jalen shoot the last shot.

    It always end up with bricking or turnover.

    Rockets need to do better with late quarter clock management.

    too often I find myself saying, they’re going too early. You want the last shot, not a shot with 5 seconds left. You don’t want to give the other team a chance to come down and get a buzzer beater. Didn’t get them this time, but it happens all the time.

    Yeah they leave too much time onthe clock for the defense to get a rebound and get a good shot

    Absolutely ignorant plays without seeing the next possession.

    Holiday the MVP of the last 4 minutes of the third quarter!

    Jalen and Jabari with the 2 best +/- for the Rockets so far in this game, and that tracks because they’re the reason we’re not getting blown out

    We're gonna find out if Holiday's 8-0 run was just a dead cat bounce for the Rockets or if they can close this game.
