The Rockets are two wins away from becoming the first team in NBA history to clinch a seven-game series after starting 0-3.
A franchise-record regular season ended in all too familiar fashion for the Denver Nuggets with a disappointing first-round playoff loss.
Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson each scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets again avoided elimination, beating the short-handed Chicago Bulls 95-92 Thursday to tie their first-round series at 3.
Despite being in a 3-2 hole against the Chicago Bulls, the Brooklyn Nets insist they are the team to beat in this best-of-seven series.
The Miami Heat won't be back on the court until Monday, but the biggest question surrounding the team is the health of Dwyane Wade's knees.
Denver Nuggets coach George Karl thought the reaction to his team's Game 5 win over the Warriors sounded like a "different movie than I'm watching." Golden State's Mark Jackson defended his accusations of dirty play Wednesday, and players on both sides practically promised more physicality.

The Nuggets slowed down Golden State's guards, jumpstarted their transition game and got under Andrew Bogut's skin in Game 5, jumping out to a 22-point lead before weathering the Warriors' frenetic fourth quarter rally.
The Celtics are talking like Wednesday night is Game 7 against the Knicks, but they have a lot of work to do if they want to see a Game 6.
Zach Randolph scored 10 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and the Memphis Grizzlies capitalized on Blake Griffin's ankle injury to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 103-93 on Tuesday night, taking a 3-2 lead in their first-round playoff series.
Kenneth Faried brought the energy and the Denver Nuggets rediscovered their toughness in time to stave off elimination Tuesday night with a 107-100 win over the Golden State Warriors.
Had Smith been available for Game 4, perhaps this series would already be over. "It would've been," he said Tuesday. "I would've been playing golf today."
Count me among those who applaud Jason Collins for his courage in announcing that he is gay. It is a gutsy step.
Dwight Howard's unrestricted free agency, coach Mike D'Antoni's job status, Pau Gasol's tenuous future, Metta World Peace's amnesty possibilities and the injury comebacks of Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash are only the biggest issues facing the Lakers as they decide whether to try this grand experiment again.
Over the last two years, not having Dwyane Wade in the lineup for a playoff game would have been cause for concern for the Miami Heat. This year, a much-deeper Heat squad had a message for the injured Wade, don't worry, we'll take care of this.
Jason Terry came alive for the Celtics in Game 4 against the Knicks, and promises Boston still has a lot of fight left in them.
During Monday's playoff action between the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Rockets maintained fluidity and brought home a win to the city of Houston, 105-103.
Zinno had national writer Dan Levy of Bleacher Report on to discuss Jason Collins' coming out as the first openly gay player for an American pro sports team.
The Hawks even the series with the Pacers behind Josh Smith's 29 points.
Now that they've had a couple of days to digest those back-to-back losses the suddenly rejuvenated Grizzlies shoved down their throats in Memphis, the Clippers are back home and eager to swing the momentum back in their favor in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.
Though I've got to stick with my Bulls in six prediction, maybe the Nets have finally figured out how to close games. I'd give almost anything to be wrong.
