In a game featuring two of the biggest superstars in the NBA, LeBron James and James Harden, it was Clint Capela who came up big in the end to help his team seal the win.

The Houston Rockets managed to pull-away by 18 (27-45) early in the second quarter but Cleveland quickly erased the deficit and led 67-65 at the half.

Houston won the third 36-25 and the Cavaliers wouldn’t go away. The Rockets went on a cold stretch in the fourth and Clint Capela was there to save the day.

In specific, no other Rocket player scored in the final 4:45 of the game. The Swiss center scored his team final six points and had some crucial blocks in the deciding moments of the game.

James Harden was sensational as he had a triple-double (35p. 11 r. 13 a.) while LeBron James also had a nice game with 33 points, 4 boards and 7 assists.
