Gerald Green‘s three at the buzzer lifted the Houston Rockets to their 11th straight win, this one 104-103 over the Phoenix Suns.
It also capped a wild finish.
The Rockets trailed by 18 late in the third quarter, but James Harden scored 13 in the fourth to bring Houston closer. His last basket came on a three to tie the game with 12.2 seconds left.
