The five-game losing streak is over for the Rockets (26-9), who overcame a 17-point deficit in the second half to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers, 148-142, in double overtime. However, the win came with a price as star guard James Harden (40 points, 11 assists) left early with a left hamstring strain. Monday's postgame recap explores all the leading themes from the victory — including the "will to win" shown by Chris Paul (28 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds) in Harden's absence, as well as the early defensive shortcomings that put Houston in a 16-point hole. The show concludes with initial thoughts on Harden's injury, his potential timetable for return, and how the Rockets can best manage it over the next few days. Learn more about your ad choices.
