MINNEAPOLIS - The Houston Rockets found themselves in an unexpected fight as they staggered into overtime against lowly Minnesot Antworten

MINNEAPOLIS - The Houston Rockets found themselves in an unexpected fight as they staggered into overtime against lowly Minnesota, and James Harden and Dwight Howard couldnt do anything to help them. Alan Trammell Jersey .In what has quickly become a defining characteristic for this version of the Rockets, they somehow found a way.Harden had 38 points before fouling out and Nick Johnson scored on a driving layup with 0.8 seconds to go in overtime that helped the Rockets escape with a 114-112 victory over the Timberwolves on Friday night.I foul out and they still go out there and win the game, Harden said. Small things like that put it in our minds that were building and were growing as a team.Harden made 11 of 17 shots and also had six assists, but he fouled out with 1:20 to play in regulation and the Rockets let a 13-point lead with 5 minutes to go slip away. Jason Terry, the veteran who has been so valuable with Howard out, hit a 3-pointer and then two free throws in overtime to finish with 19 points. Terry also fed Johnson for the winning bucket.Thaddeus Young had 19 points for the Timberwolves, the last two coming with 15.9 seconds to go in overtime to tie the game at 112.But Johnson got loose on the final possession and bulled to the rim to hit a tough layup that gave the Rockets (15-4) their sixth win in seven games.Shabazz Muhammad scored 20 points for the Timberwolves, who were coming off an embarrassing loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday night that snapped the 76ers 17-game losing streak to start the season. Minnesota put up a much more inspired effort on Friday night, outscoring Houston 22-9 in the final 5 minutes of regulation, but couldnt finish it off.It hurt for two days, how embarrassing it was to lose to Philadelphia and all that (stuff), Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. Bottom line is they played harder than we did the whole night, but we just got lucky and won.The Wolves were down 96-83 before Zach LaVine converted a three-point play off a dunk, Corey Brewer threw down a dunk in transition and Andrew Wiggins dunk gave the Wolves a 105-101 lead with 58 seconds to play.Donatas Motiejunas scored on a hook shot and hit two free throws to tie the game with 15 seconds to play, and Chase Budinger missed a long jumper at the buzzer that wouldve won it for Minnesota.We really shouldve won, said LaVine, who scored 17 points but missed two open jumpers late in the fourth. We made some bad plays, but we grew and did a lot better than we did last game.Both teams have been racked by injuries, with the Wolves missing Ricky Rubio (ankle), Kevin Martin (wrist), Nikola Pekovic (foot), Ronny Turiaf (hip) and Mo Williams (back).The Rockets have plenty of injuries of their own. Howard has missed the last nine games because of a strained right knee, point guard Patrick Beverley is out with a hamstring strain and power forward Terrence Jones has a left leg injury.___TIP-INSRockets: Trevor Ariza had 17 points and nine rebounds in 44 minutes. ... Kostas Papanikolaou had 10 points and four rebounds off the bench, but couldnt finish the game because of a knee injury that McHale said will be evaluated on Saturday. ... It was the 16th time in 19 games that the Rockets hit at least 10 3-pointers.Timberwolves: Coach Flip Saunders said Williams would not make the trip to San Antonio for Saturdays game and will be re-evaluated when the Wolves come back home. ... All five Wolves starters scored in double figures, including 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists for Brewer.JOHNSONS BIG SHOTJohnsons game-winner came off a busted play, with Terry running a pick-and-roll with Motiejunas and the defence collapsing on him as he went to the basket. LaVine lost Johnson in the scramble, and he slipped by him for the layup.We got the win, a relieved Johnson said. So thats all that matters.MARTIN ON THE MENDMartin spoke to reporters Friday for the first time since he broke his right wrist against the Knicks on Nov. 19. Its a nearly identical injury to the one he had on his left wrist a few years ago, but Martin said he expects a longer, harder recovery this time around.I do remember my left, there was a lot of soreness, but I dont have a left hand anyways so I didnt really need that, Martin said, a joking reference to his proclivity to going to his right. With the right, its going to be a tougher rehab. Ill have to put in a lot more time in this one. So well see.UP NEXTRockets: Host Phoenix on Saturday.Timberwolves: At San Antonio on Saturday. Shane Greene Jersey . Jannero Pargo scored 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter to help the Charlotte Bobcats erase a 21-point deficit and rally for an 83-76 preseason victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night. Jose Iglesias Jersey . "Its way better than running gassers, thats for sure," the inside linebacker said Monday, when the Chargers started their third and final week of organized team activities, which are practices in shorts, jerseys and helmets. http://www.tigersgearshop.com/Tigers-Ryan-Carpenter-Kids-Jersey/ . Alexander was released last week by the Edmonton Eskimos, where he spent the past three seasons at safety. He had 121 defensive tackles, five special teams tackles and seven interceptions in 51 regular-season and three playoff games.FRANKFURT, Germany -- Borussia Moenchengladbach drew 2-2 with Wolfsburg on Sunday to move past Borussia Dortmund into third place in the Bundesliga. Moenchengladbach dropped its first points at home this season but still moved into third, one point ahead of Dortmund, which lost 2-1 to Hertha Berlin on Saturday. Wolfsburg, which got a late equalizer from substitute Bas Dost, is now two points behind Dortmund in fifth and is undefeated in nine games.Diego connected with a low cross to slot home for Wolfsburg in the 53rd. Raffael broke through on the right to score inside the far post in the 59th and Juan Arango then scored a spectacular goal in the 64th.Arango curled a left-foot shot into the upper corner from about 27 metres (yards) over the wall for Borussia to take the lead. Michael Fulmer Jersey. But Dost used a deflected clearance to equalize from close range."We lost the ball and didnt get back quickly enough," Moenchengladbachs coach Lucien Favre said. "It was unnecessary to concede the late goal, its a pity, but weve had a good season so far."This was the last match before the winter break.Defending champion Bayern Munich, which won the Club World Cup on Saturday, will spend the break atop the standings, seven points ahead of Leverkusen. Leverkusen also lost on Saturday, 1-0 at Werder Bremen. Leverkusen is four points ahead of Moenchengladbach.
