Rockets rally in overtime in US(2012)

Friday 20th January 2012 

The Houston Rockets survived one of the worst fourth quarters in team history to beat the New Orleans Hornets 90-88 in overtime on Thursday.

The home side looked set for a comfortable win when they led by as many as 14 points, with Kevin Martin scoring 27 of his 32 points in the first half.
However, they then shot three for 21 from the field and scored only seven points in the final quarter before coming from five points down in overtime to snatch the rollercoaster win.
In Miami, LeBron James shook off flu-like symptoms to score 31 points as the Heat beat the Los Angeles Lakers 98-87.
James was sent home from the team's practice earlier in the day to rest, and the decision paid off as he also picked up eight rebounds and eight assists.
In the day's final game, the Dallas Mavericks overcame scoring just 12 points in the third quarter to beat the Utah Jazz 94-91.
