C. While the Bucks deserve credit for picking up their level in multiple departments to make a real game of this one, the fact remains that this was at best an average performance by the Rockets’ standards. <p>James Harden was very inefficient throughout the night, and considering he was carrying a knee injury his contribution was still incredibly positive. After some significant first half struggles, Chris Paul also bounced back in a big way in the second half, including hitting two shots that effectively sealed the game.</p> <p><a rel=. Western Conference. 24-4. HOUSTON ROCKETS
