Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports The Houston Rockets have been sporadic all time, and Monday's 119-112 damage at the Phoenix Suns is a sign that this team might be folding at the incorrect time. The Rockets' loss, used with Golden State's win versus the San Antonio Spurs, dropped the Rockets to the seventh place in the Western Conference by one game. Houston might fall back to the eighth spot with a reduction at the La Lakers in Wednesday's finale. Likely as the last game of the summer season, a 10:30 p.m to finish. EST start on ESPN, the Rockets-Lakers game can bring serious implicationsa'or mean little. If the Warriors, who start at the same time, win against the Portland Trail Blazers, then the Rockets won't be able to go back into the sixth spot. And if the Rockets, currently a casino game ahead of the Lakers, slip on Wednesday, they lose the tie-breaker and belong to the eighth spot. Not much needs to occur for James Harden to go back to Oklahoma City to handle his former Thunder team, as it stands. But the other way could be gone by it. If the Warriors lose and the Rockets defeat the Lakers, then Houston will face the third-seeded Denver Nuggets in the initial round. If the Warriors and Rockets get, then Houston faces second-seeded San Antonio. And recall, the Utah Jazz remain and is likely to be large the biggest Rockets cheerleaders. The Jazz need to gain against the Memphis Grizzlies and need a Lakers' damage to take the eighth seed. The Rockets needed Monday's get to prevent all that distress. Harden accomplished 5-of-18 for 16 items with two helps and four turnovers.
