The Houston Rockets prevailed at home, but Golden State still has the 2-1 lead in the Western Semifinals series

James Harden scored 41 points, and Houston outlasted the Warriors 126-121 on Saturday night to cut the deficit in the Western Conference semifinals to 2-1.

A layup by P.J. Tucker put Houston up by three with about 2 minutes left and the Warriors missed shots on their next two possessions. That set up the 3-pointer by Harden with 49 seconds left that made it 124-118.

Swiss center Clint Capela added a double-double (13 p. 11 r.) and Eric Gordon had a playoff career-high 30 points with a playoff-best seven 3-pointers.
