HOUSTON -- James Harden faced the throng of reporters waiting at his
locker and exhaled heavily after the Houston Rockets slipped by the New
York Knicks on Friday night to end a two-game skid.
"Its a huge sigh of relief," Harden said. "We found a way. It wasnt
pretty. It wasnt the prettiest win, but at the end of the night a win is
all that matters."
Harden scored 37 points and Aaron Brooks made a pair of free throws with
17 seconds left to lift the Rockets to a 102-100 victory.
The Knicks had a chance to tie it at the end, but Iman Shumpert missed a
shot before Andrea Bargnani grabbed a rebound and dished it to Beno
Udrih, whose running jump shot rolled in and out of the basket at the
buzzer.
Several Knicks put their hands on their heads in disbelief as they
watched the ball spin out.
Udrih and J.R. Smith both missed 3-pointers for the Knicks with under a
minute remaining. Brooks grabbed the rebound on the second one and was
fouled by Udrih to set up the game-winning free throws.
Smith admitted after the game that he made a mistake in taking his shot,
which came with 19.9 seconds remaining.
"Honestly I thought we were down two when I shot the ball," Smith said.
"I started hearing Tyson (Chandler) say: "No, no, no dont take the
shot." But at that point it was already released ... it was just bad
basketball IQ by me."
Carmelo Anthony couldnt believe they had another play where they should
have held the ball instead of taking an ill-advised shot. In a game last
month against Milwaukee, Bargnani jacked up a 3-point attempt with 11.9
seconds left and New York up by two points in overtime. The Bucks made a
shot on the other end to force a second overtime, but the Knicks were
able to rebound for a double-overtime win in that one.
"Yeah, yeah, it was kind of like deja vu," Anthony said when asked if
that play reminded him of Smiths shot.
New York coach Mike Woodson said Smiths miss was just one of many
opportunities they didnt take advantage of Friday night.
"We had our shots and I think we compounded it too by fouling instead of
making them go through our defence," he said.
Shumpert, who scored a career-high 27 Thursday night, led the Knicks
with 26 and Anthony added 25.
Anthony returned on Thursday night after missing three games with a
sprained left ankle and tweaked it late in that win. He was still
struggling with it Friday night, and winced almost every time he landed
after jumping in the second half.
"I think it was just the back-to-back and not giving it a chance to
rest," Anthony said. "It was just aching at times, at moments throughout
the game."
Shumpert, who was 6 for 6 on 3s, hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to two
points before Chandler hit two free throws to tie it at 100 with 1:02
left. Chandler finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Houston used a big run to start the fourth quarter and erase an
eight-point deficit. The teams exchanged leads several times after that,
but neither team led by more than a basket in the quarter before Harden
scored five straight points to make it 100-95 with 2:23 remaining.
Chandler Parsons added 17 points and 11 rebounds for Houston, Dwight
Howard had 15 points and Jeremy Lin scored 14 against his former team.
The Rockets opened the final period with a 10-1 run to take an 83-82
lead with about nine minutes remaining.
Harden scored 11 points, powered by three 3-pointers, in the opening
minutes of the second half to stretch Houstons lead to 61-56 with about
eight minutes left in the third quarter.
Anthony, who scored 45 points against Houston earlier this season,
responded after that by making the first four points of an 8-0 run by
New York to put the Knicks up 64-61.
The game was tied at 66-all when New York scored seven straight to
regain the lead 73-66.
New York led 81-73 entering the fourth quarter thanks in part to 13
points by Shumpert in the third.
The Knicks led by one with about 7 1/2 minutes remaining in the second
quarter when Houston used a 10-2 run to take a 39-32 lead.
Chandler received a technical foul in that span when he got tangled up
with Howard and swung an elbow. Lin then made a nifty reverse layup and
the ensuing free throw and Houston capped the run with an alley-oop dunk
from Harden to Terrence Jones.
New York got going after that, using an 11-2 spurt, with consecutive
3-pointers from Anthony, to regain a 43-41 lead.
Parsons made a pair of free throws with seconds left in the second
quarter to lead 48-47 at halftime.
NOTES: Singer Paul Simon, who will perform with Sting at the Toyota
Center in February, attended the game. ... Knicks F Kenyon Martin has a
sore left ankle and did not dress for the game. ... Houston C Omer Asik
missed his 16th straight game right thigh and knee injuries.

The lightning strike was in the parking lot of Crew Stadium on Saturday
night, but its not known if the off-duty lieutenant was struck directly,
Columbus Fire Department Battalion Chief Tracy Smith said.
The firefighter, identified as Lt.INDIANAPOLIS -- While his team
struggled with setup and speed, Scott Dixon has flown under the radar
during preparations for the Indianapolis 500.
Its exactly how he wants it. Its how he has tried to be his entire
career.
"I like to live simply," Dixon said.
As such, one of the most decorated drivers of the last decade goes
grossly underappreciated for his accomplishments. Hes the Jimmie Johnson
of IndyCar, the driver tearing through the record books with his eye on
the top names in series history.
Dixons 33 career victories rank seventh all-time, and three more wins
would leapfrog him past Al Unser Jr. and Bobby Unser into fourth place.
The only drivers who rank higher than Dixon in victories right now have
the last name Andretti, Foyt and Unser.
Since joining Chip Ganassi Racing in 2002 while the team still raced in
the now-defunct CHAMP Car Series, Dixon has won at least one race in
every season except two. He has an Indianapolis 500 win on his resume,
and his three IndyCar championships -- spread out in 2003, 2008 and 2013
-- show a consistency and longevity thats hard to match.
At just 33 years old, he conceivably has almost another decade of racing
ahead of him.
But hes worked in the shadow of some huge personalities and some of
open-wheel racings biggest stars.
When Dario Franchitti joined the Ganassi organization in 2009, Dixon
watched his famous teammate reel off three consecutive championships and
two Indy 500 wins. In that same span, Dixon finished second in the
championship once, third three times, and finished second to Franchitti
in the 2012 Indy 500.
Living in Franchittis shadow never bothered him.
"I preferred that, actually," said Dixon, who will start Sundays Indy
500 in 11th, in the fourth row. "When I come out of the truck and
everyone is standing around waiting, they all chased after Dario and I
could just get on the scooter and ride off and get to work. Ive never
had any problem not having the spotlight on me."
Franchitti is on the sidelines now, forced into retirement last November
from injuries suffereed in a crash at Houston a month
earlier.dddddddddddd. The imposing 1-2 attack of the two red Target cars
has been broken up.
It means Dixon finally has the team to himself, but he doesnt view it
that way -- he maintains its always been owner Chip Ganassis team -- and
the laid-back New Zealander isnt seeking any fame.
Its a shame, because hes earned the attention.
"Hes achieved so much, hes one of the most successful of all time, but a
lot of people dont know that," said reigning Indianapolis 500 winner
Tony Kanaan, a fan favourite and Franchittis replacement this year in
the Ganassi organization. "He just does his job. Is he more famous than
me? Not really. But were not talking about that. Its not what his goal
is. Hes doing exactly what he wants to do."
Dixon excels at striving for more and putting in the work toward
continuing to improve his race craft.
"He doesnt stop learning. He doesnt allow what hes just done to be the
high point in his life, in his career. He only uses that as a
springboard for the next day," said Mike Hull, Ganassis managing
director and the strategist atop Dixons pit stand. "We just do not stop
learning together, and he represents us. I wish we could clone him, to
be honest about it, moving forward because hes the kind of person you
need driving your race cars."
In his 13th season with Ganassi, Dixon is easily the longest tenured
driver in organization history. The team owner says the longevity is
because Dixon "doesnt seem to carry much baggage with him." For an owner
who dislikes drama or having to massage egos and manage personalities,
Dixon is his easy child.
As for where Dixon ranks among the all-time greats, Ganassi doesnt want
to be part of the conversation.
"Were obviously very proud to have Scott," Ganassi said. "When you talk
about legacies ... that will be something someday for you in the media
to talk about. I dont think its our position in the race team to talk
about that. We certainly think his name deserves to be up there as
well."
