休斯敦人拼得异常凶狠并在比赛还有2分钟时将分差缩小至1分，接着Greene突破Russell Robinson成功。当Leunen接到Greene的妙传投中并98-97带领休斯敦顿人全场第一次领先时，比赛进行得异常激烈。太阳队DJ. Strawberry在比赛要结束之际出手三分，比赛时间已经到了。

The Rockets were the squad that came out of the break with all the momentum as they cut their deficit from 13 to five, including an and-one floater with 0.2 seconds left in the quarter by Brooks.

Houston played tough as they cut the lead to one with 2 minutes to go on a Greene alley-oop from Russell Robinson. The game stayed tight in the final minutes when Houston took their first lead of the game, 98-97 on a reverse lay-up by Leunen from a great pass by Greene. The Suns' D.J.
