The Houston Rockets with no "Dwight of Three Stripes" again gets an All-Star performance from the Logo's best scoring shooting guard in James Harden. Harden torches Knicks Tape for a game-high 36 points but not before Knicks star 'Melo Anthony leaves before the half with back spasms.

The game at the half was 51-46 Rockets as both Harden and Anthony each had a game-high 14 points. Harden got things started in the 3rd scoring ten of the Rockets 18 but the Knicks riding the play of lead guard Pablo Prigioni, Shane Larkin, and Jose Calderon led the Knicks to a 23-point 3rd frame as the game was knotted at 69-69 heading into the 4th.

That's where Nike Basketball's Harden took over late as the Knicks took the lead at the five minute mark 80-79 on a Travis Wear jumper. Harden then went back to back Money Balls like only "Fear the Beard" #13 can to move the Rockets to a 85-82 lead. He stretched that lead to 87-82 behind two free throws and added four more free throws icing the game 91-86 Clutch City.

Harden was 11 for 22 and 7 for 12 from deep Donatas Motiejunas of Montenegro (13 pts 8 rebs) and Trevor Ariza (10 pts 5 rebs) were the Rockets in double figures.

'Melo Anthony the only Knicks in double figures  with 14 points as everyone hit the score book for New York except former Jayhawk "Big" Cole Aldrich.  Spain national team Captain Jose Caldron and former UNC Tar Heel and UCLA Bruins and twin Travis Wear each had 9 points for Knicks Tape!

The Rockets move to 11-3 while Knicks Tape falls to 4-11...
