Rockets-Nets Preview

By NOEY KUPCHAN
Posted Feb 21 2013 8:18PM

The Houston Rockets turned themselves into playoff contenders by trading for James Harden this offseason.

While Thomas Robinson may not have as big an impact, Houston is counting on some key contributions from the highly touted rookie.

Coming off one of their more impressive efforts of the season, the visiting Rockets try for a 13th consecutive win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night.

Houston (30-26) acquired Harden in a six-player deal with Oklahoma City just days before the season started, a move that's paid significant dividends.

The Rockets, whose last postseason appearance came in 2009, hold a 3 1/2-game lead over the Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. That success is due in large part to Harden, who ranks fifth in the NBA with 26.5 points per game.

The Rockets made a couple of other moves before the deadline, most notably bringing Robinson, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt over from Sacramento on Wednesday in exchange for starting forward Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas. Houston also sent Marcus Morris to Phoenix for a 2013 second-round pick.

It's unclear if the new additions will be available Friday, but general manager Daryl Morey is certainly looking forward to seeing the No. 5 overall pick in action.

"Thomas is a guy people are going to love," Morey said of Robinson, who averaged 4.8 points and 4.7 boards in limited minutes with the Kings. "High-energy, runs the floor, led the country in rebounding when he was at Kansas. He's a guy we really think has the potential to be a starting big man in this league and has a lot of upside.

"Obviously he's still young, and he's somebody who's going to compete for minutes and try to help us win down the stretch."

The short-handed Rockets got word of that trade roughly 20 minutes before facing the Thunder on Wednesday. Houston, though, managed to erase a 14-point deficit with just over seven minutes left in a 122-119 win.

Harden scored a career-high 46 points on 14-of-19 shooting against his former team, going 7 of 8 from 3-point range. He also added eight rebounds and six assists.

"He's a phenomenal offensive force. He can drive it. He' s got the ability to shoot it. He's got the ability to beat you off the bounce. I think he's almost unguardable off the catch," coach Kevin McHale said. "His first step is so deceptively fast and strong and he changes direction...when he plays off the catch I just think he's absolutely as good as it gets. ... He's just a (heck) of a basketball player."

Harden is averaging 34.8 points over his last five games and the Rockets have averaged 116.2 while winning eight of the last 11 games that he's been in the lineup.

Houston has had few problems producing offensively against the Nets (33-22), who've been outscored by an average of 16.0 points over the last 12 matchups in this series. Harden had 29 points, Omer Asik posted 20 and 16 rebounds and Chandler Parsons scored 16 to go along with a career-high 11 assists as the Rockets beat Brooklyn 119-106 on Jan. 26.

The Nets, though, have won four in a row, including a home-and-home sweep of Milwaukee. One night after Joe Johnson beat the overtime buzzer to give his team a 113-111 win, Brooklyn came from 15 down in Wednesday's 97-94 road victory.

Deron Williams had 23 points and eight assists but was the only starter to score in double figures. C.J. Watson added 17 points and Andray Blatche posted 12 and 12 rebounds.

"Every game isn't going to be pretty," said Williams, who continues to play though ankle pain. "You are going to have these grind-it-out games. We got down and we are able to fight back and keep our composure and get a win."

The Nets are 8-0 when Watson scores at least 11 points. He's averaged 17.7 in the past three games.

Rockets beat Nets for 13th straight time, 106-96

NEW YORK (AP) East Rutherford, Newark or Brooklyn. The Houston Rockets win no matter where the nomadic Nets call home.

James Harden and Carlos Delfino each scored 22 points, and the Rockets tied their longest winning streak against any opponent by beating Brooklyn for the 13th straight time, 106-96 on Friday night.

Houston blew most of a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter before Delfino hit a big 3-pointer with 1:54 left. He later made another jumper before Harden followed with a 3-pointer to put it away and remain unbeaten on the road against the Nets for 10 years.

"It was our defense," Harden said. "We started moving the ball and making the easy pass. We were kind of doing too much playing in traffic and they were causing turnovers and getting easy points, so we kind of slowed down in that sense and got a lot of open looks.

"It was a very good road win for us. Now we have to go into Washington tomorrow and play well."

Delfino made six 3-pointers. Harden, coming off a career-high, 46-point game Wednesday against Oklahoma City, made four 3s and finished 7 of 14 from the field.

Brook Lopez scored 27 points for the Nets, who played without starting guard Joe Johnson for the first time this season because of plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Deron Williams added 15 points and 13 assists, but shot 5 of 17 as Brooklyn had its four-game winning streak snapped.

The Rockets haven't lost to the Nets since March 13, 2006, in Houston. They haven't lost to the Nets on the road since March 31, 2003, in East Rutherford, N.J. - two homes ago for the team that moved to Brooklyn this season.

The Rockets also beat the Sonics-Thunder franchise 13 straight times from 2007-09 and Minnesota from 2007-11.

Brooklyn missed a chance to tie New York for first place in the Atlantic Division after the Knicks fell in Toronto. The Nets snapped a 13-game skid against Milwaukee earlier this week, but couldn't keep up with the NBA's highest-scoring team.

"This was a winnable ballgame for us, we just couldn't score the ball in the second half," Williams said. "Those shots they hit there at the end just kind of killed us. Big shots by them and we didn't make enough plays down the stretch."

Houston built a big lead early in the fourth quarter but got sloppy, committing a series of offensive fouls and letting the Nets run off nine straight points at one point. Mirza Teletovic, who scored nine of his 12 in the fourth quarter, hit a 3-pointer that cut it to 97-94 with 2:57 to go before Delfino and Harden had the finishing flurry.

"With 10 minutes to go in that game, we were up 15 and we just had to take care of the ball and move it," Houston coach Kevin McHale said. "Tonight the ball got sticky at times. We don't play really well when the ball gets sticky. We have to have ball movement."

"The past couple of weeks we've shown flashes, in my mind, of being a really, really, good team, whether it was the game against OKC or Golden State, or games like that," point guard Jeremy Lin said. "Today was an uglier one. We turned the ball over. We didn't play as well as we normally did. We're thankful."

The Rockets used only nine players. Newcomers Thomas Robinson, the No. 5 pick in last year's draft, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt weren't available because Patrick Patterson, Toney Douglas and Cole Aldrich, the players traded to Sacramento on Wednesday, hadn't gotten their physicals done in time. The Rockets hope they will be available Saturday.

The Rockets shot 62 percent in the first quarter, but led only 34-31 after the Nets made 59 percent. The Nets cooled off to only 39 percent in the second quarter, but the bigger problem was their defense.

Brooklyn repeatedly botched its defensive coverages, allowing the Rockets' big men to get wide open inside the lane. Houston took a 10-point lead midway through the period and was ahead 61-53 at the break, with an amazingly balanced effort featuring eight players scoring between six and 10 points.

The Nets quickly evened it up in the third and it remained close until Harden scored the final seven points of the period in the last 1:11, giving Houston an 84-75 lead. James Anderson and Patrick Beverley opened the fourth with consecutive 3-pointers, pushing it to 90-75, before the Nets toughened again.

"The way we played in the second half is the way we need to play in the whole game," swingman Keith Bogans said. "We fought, we played defense, we got stops. Just that little stretch at the end where we didn't make any shots, but it shows what type of team we can be. We just have to play that way for 48 minutes instead of 24."

Omer Asik had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets. Lin finished with nine points and six assists, the former Knicks star getting a nice ovation before the game.

C.J. Watson scored 17 points in place of Johnson.

Notes: Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov was at the game. Though the Russian billionaire said during his season-opening press conference that a conference finals trip would be a successful season, general manager Billy King said Prokhorov never told that to him. King made no moves before the trade deadline and said he hoped the Nets continued to improve with more time together. ... Harden and Bogans picked each technical fouls for exchanging words in the second quarter. ... Johnson leads the Nets with 38 minutes per game.

Notebook: Rockets 106, Nets 96

THE FACTS: The Rockets took the lead late in the first quarter and never gave it back, riding 22 points each from Carlos Delfino and James Harden to a 106-96 victory over the Nets at Barclays Center. The visitors had an answer for every comeback the Nets mounted, whether it was led by Brook Lopez (27 points, 6 rebounds), C.J. Watson (17 points, 5 assists) or Mirza Teletovic (12 points, 9 in the fourth quarter). Playing without a traditional power forward after making two trades before the deadline, the Rockets' floor-spacing lineup shot 16-30 from behind the arc.

QUOTABLE: "Our ball movement was key. Guys moved the ball, got easy shots, and defensively, we played pretty well. But our offense got a lot of big shots, a lot of 3s."
-- Harden

THE STAT: The Nets shot 2-17, good for five points, on second chance opportunities, rendering their primary advantage in the game meaningless.

TURNING POINT: With 4:42 remaining in the fourth quarter, Harden drew an and-1 by making contact with Keith Bogans on a fast break. The 3-point conversion gave the Rockets enough breathing room to withstand the Nets' final rally.

QUOTABLE II: "We kept on crawling back in there, but we just weren't able to get over the hump."
-- Lopez

INSIDE THE ARENA: Jeremy Lin received a rousing ovation during player introductions. Lin (9 points, 6 assists, 5 turnovers) didn't have his best game in front of many fans that came out to see him, but he won for the second time this season as an opponent in New York City.

ROOKIE WATCH: Teletovic had a standout fourth quarter after a nondescript first half. ... Both Patrick Beverly and Donatas Motiejunas scored nine points and made other important contributions for the Rockets, who are waiting for the fifth pick in last year's draft, Thomas Robinson, to pass a physical after being acquired from the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.

NOTABLE: Harden and Bogans were assessed double technical fouls in the second quarter after a confrontation. Bogans especially was incensed by the situation. ... Joe Johnson missed his first game of the season for the Nets with a sore heel. Andray Blatche is now the Nets' only player to have appeared in every game.

UP NEXT: For the Rockets, Saturday @ Washington, Tuesday vs. Milwaukee, Friday @ Orlando. For the Nets, Sunday vs. Memphis, Tuesday @ New Orleans, Friday vs. Dallas.
