For the first time since 2009, Houston will advance to the second round behind another solid performance by James Harden, who scored 28 points in the Rockets Game 5 win to beat the Dallas Mavericks 103-94.
“We have a lot of guys in this locker room that are hungry,” Harden said. “They want to win and want to do whatever it takes to win. When you get a group like that, you got a lot of guys who are willing to sacrifice.”
