HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets wish they could get away from their habit of trailing early in games and needing big second-half rallies to pull them out. cheap nfl jerseys . As long as they have James Harden, it seems to be a working formula. Harden scored 37 points, Jeremy Lin had 24 and the Rockets rallied from 20 points down in the third quarter to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 108-100 on Friday night. Harden also grabbed seven rebounds and handed out eight assists for the Rockets, who rallied from a double-digit deficit to win for the 11th time this season. The Rockets picked up their defence to rally this time, holding the Timberwolves to only 17 field goals after the break. Harden had 25 points in the second half as Houston outscored Minnesota 69-43. "I kind of saw where we were all sluggish, especially in that first half," Harden said. "You just have to have that confidence to go out there and make plays and score the basketball, drop a couple passes off and work from there." Derrick Williams and J.J. Barea scored 19 points apiece for the Timberwolves, who led 59-39 early in the third quarter. Minnesota blew a 14-point lead in another loss to Houston earlier this season. "Houston got very aggressive and they took over the game," Wolves coach Rick Adelman said. "Houston obviously played much better in the second half." But with a tougher schedule ahead, starting with Sundays game against Golden State, the Rockets know they cant keep relying on second-half outbursts for victories. "The first half was so frustrating, we cant afford to play like that," forward Chandler Parsons said. "We cant get down like that and fight back against many teams." Houston started the game by making some history. The Rockets first 3-pointer, hit by Parsons, was No. 705 on the season, tying the franchise record set by the 2006-07 team. Lin broke the mark two minutes later. The Timberwolves, though, looked more like the sharpshooters on the floor at the start, shooting 59 per cent (13 of 22) in the first quarter. Minnesotas frontline players went 7 for 9 from the field in the quarter and Alexey Shved sank a pull-up 3 off Houstons eighth turnover in the second for a 38-31 Minnesota lead. "Normally, they frustrate me," Houston coach Kevin McHale said of his young team. "Tonight, they made me mad." The leagues highest-scoring team coming into the game, Houston mustered only 39 first-half points and trailed by 18. The Rockets had only 15 first-half field goals on eight assists. Minnesota, meanwhile, shot 55 per cent from the field (22 of 40) in the half and scored 20 points off Houstons 15 first-half turnovers. "We were relying on our offence so much in the first half that we werent making shots," Harden said. "We werent playing defence at all. We picked up our intensity and energy a little bit." The Rockets trailed 61-46 early in the third quarter when McHale was whistled for a technical foul. Harden and Lin sank 3-pointers on Houstons next two possessions, and the Rockets started crawling back into it. Parsons started the fourth quarter with a steal and a breakaway dunk, and Harden drove for another layup to draw Houston within two. Lin tied it at 82-all with a layup following a Minnesota turnover, and Carlos Delfino found Greg Smith cutting down the lane for a dunk to put the Rockets ahead. Smith got free inside for a dunk and a layup, and Parsons put it away with a 3-pointer from the corner with 1:03 remaining. The Rockets snapped a three-game losing streak to the Timberwolves at the Toyota Center and sent Minnesota to its 10th loss in 12 games. Notes: While Miami extended its win streak to 21 games in Milwaukee, Adelman faced the team he led to 22 consecutive victories five years ago. For now, Houstons run stands as the second-longest in NBA history and it still seems unlikely, even to Adelman. "It kind of came out of nowhere," Adelman recalled. "Our guys got on a roll and they had a lot of confidence and they played with it night after night." The Rockets won 11 of the last 13 games in the streak by double digits. "We were dominating games," Adelman said. "It was a great experience." ... All five Minnesota starters reached double figures. ... Houston had its biggest comeback in Toyota Center history. cheap jerseys from china .

This week, Manchester United maintained its 12-point lead atop the table with a shutout of QPR, Manchester City turned the tide and avoided losing ground with a win over Chelsea and Wigan convincingly pulled themselves out of relegation.LONDON -- Tottenhams Champions League qualification hopes were stymied by West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green and the goal-frame on Saturday after the team was held to a 0-0 draw by its relegation-threatened London rival. Green tipped Gareth Bales free kick onto the crossbar and twice denied Roman Pavlyuchenko late in a dominant but frustrating match for Tottenham in the Premier League. Jermain Defoe spurned several chances to score his 100th Tottenham goal, while Michael Dawson and Aaron Lennon hit the goal-frame in the first half. "If we had got one today we could have won quite comfortably," Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp said. "We passed the ball great and made a lot of chances but couldnt get the break today." The draw gives Chelsea -- in the fourth and final Champions League spot -- a chance to move five points ahead of Tottenham by beating Manchester City on Sunday. West Ham ended the match a point above the relegation zone, but results later Saturday could return the team to the bottom three. "We defended well as a team -- the back four had to do its job," West Ham captain Matthew Upson said. "Rob Green made a couple of outstanding saves and kept us in it. Its a good result for us." It was the first time the Hammers had not conceded a goal in an away league match this season. "They defended well but we kept hitting the woodwork," Redknapp said "They rode their luck at times." After only three minutes, Luka Modrics curling shot hit the bar and Bale then cut a low cross inside the box for Defoe, who flicked a shot just wide. Carlton Cole wasted West Hams best first-half chance by shoooting straight at goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, however the visitors were otherwise on the back foot.

Modric curled a shot wide after beating his marker on the edge of the penalty area, before picking out Rafael van der Vaart with a short corner that the Netherlands forward volleyed wide. Before halftime, Lennon struck the post after racing down the right, with Defoe shooting wide after being caught by surprise by the rebound. West Ham nearly went ahead at the start of the second half. Cole turned William Gallas on the edge of the penalty area and forced Gomes into making a one-handed save. Green kept the scores level with a quick reaction save with his legs from Defoes shot from six meters out. But West Ham looked more comfortable in the second half, with Cole having an appeal for a penalty turned down after Dawson appeared to push the striker as he went up for a header. And Demba Ba unleashed a 25-meter (yard) shot that Gomes blocked with a diving one-handed save. Pavlyuchenko fluffed a chance to put Tottenham ahead from close range, but then almost immediately made up for his failure, drawing a save from Green with a long-range strike. Green was called into action again to tip Bales shot onto the bar, before Defoe and Modric blasted shots well over his goal in the closing minutes. Redknapp was frustrated by the draw, and by Van der Vaart deciding to head straight down the tunnel after being substituted with around 20 minutes to go. "I dont like that," Redknapp said. "Ill talk to him about that. If youre part of a team, you should stay and watch the game. Hes a good lad and I just made a substitution." ' ' '
