The Houston Rockets picked up a much needed 130-110 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, keeping their playoff hopes alive. Now they need help from the Lakers.
The Rockets are one game behind and the Utah Jazz and with both teams having two games left in the season, the Rockets to win out and have the Jazz lose at least one.
The last game for the Jazz will be against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. It’ll also be Kobe’s last game before retirement so Harden is hoping the Black Mamba of the past will return.
Asked what he told Kobe after the game, said Harden: “We need y’all to beat Utah. I mean, we need some help.”

It won’t be an easy feat as the Lakers and Jazz have played three times already this season, with Utah winning by 12, 17 and 48 points.
The other game the Jazz has is against the Dallas Mavericks who are also fighting to make the playoffs. The Rockets final two games are against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Sacramento Kings. The Rockets hold the tiebreaker over the Jazz given they have a better Conference record (Rockets-Jazz season record is 2-2), but the Rockets need to win both games as they are one behind the Jazz.
Well, good luck…
