NBA wrap: Rockets close gap on Warriors by beating tough Heat squad

Maybe Rockets center Clint Capela was on to something.

The Rockets used some late-game heroics Monday night from guards James Harden and Chris Paul to defeat a tough Heat team in Houston, 99-90.

Harden broke an 88-88 tie with a 29-foot 3-pointer at the 3:06 mark, and he and Paul later hit contested jumpers inside the arc to seal the win for the Rockets (33-12).
