Paul, Harden Lift Rockets To Game Four Win

The Rockets'  best two players refused to let them lose in a 95-92 win over the  Warriors in Game Four of the Western Conference finals at ORACLE Arena.   Chris Paul and James Harden combined for 57 points, while the rest of  the roster was just 9-of-31 from the field.  The duo also hit eight of  Houston's 12 threes.  Harden had a game-high 30 points and Paul added  27.  Houston responded to everything Golden State threw its way,  including a 12-0 run to start the game and a 34-to-17 third-quarter  blitz spearheaded by Steph Curry.  The Warriors were outscored 25-to-12  over the final 12 minutes as the Rockets fought back to tie the best-of-seven series at two.  Curry finished  with six hits from deep on his way to 28 points and Kevin Durant chipped  in 27.  Houston hosts Game Five on Thursday.
