The Houston Rockets are now in big trouble as they find themselves down 2-0 in their best of seven series against the Warriors. It could have possibly been all tied up at 1-1 if James Harden didn’t absolutely choke on the final play of the game.

The Rockets were in a position that you ask for. Down one point, 99-98, with the ball in your star players hands to end the game. Harden brought the ball up the court and then things got ugly. Harden appeared to panic and wound up passing the ball to Dwight Howard at the top of the key. Harden got the ball back but had nowhere to go and looked lost and wound up losing the ball as the clock expired.

Harden has played great in both games, dropping 28 in game one and 38 last night but since they have both been losses, especially with the way it ended last night we have to wonder if the mental game will take over. The Rockets have been in both games till the final second but they have now lost six straight games to the Warriors this season and doubt may be creeping in.

Harden took his anger out on curtains on the way to the locker room.
