The Houston Rockets made a big statement on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors, and their star player James Harden came up clutch in the final moments of the game to make sure they came away with a win.The Rockets defeated the Warriors 116-108 at the Toyota Center in Houston with Chris Paul, Clint Capela, and James Harden dominating the court. Paul had the best game out of the three, with a performance of 33 points with 11 rebounds, but it was Harden that had two of the most memorable moments of the night.After missing several games with a hamstring injury, the guard was finally playing like an MVP, as in the final moments of the game, he produced two big plays to make sure that Houston came away from the game with the victory.Firstly, Harden managed to score a three-pointer over Warriors' Steph Curry with 1:10 left in the game to put the Rockets up by six. Then, Curry responded by taking the ball to the other end of the court, but the Houston star was there once more with another clutch moment.

As Curry took a three-point attempt in order to keep the Warriors in the game, Harden came up big for the Rockets once more by blocking the attempt, and the ball was easily picked up by Paul with just over a minute remaining. Houston scored another two points and that was the game.

With Harden, Paul, and Capela on the court, the Rockets have a record of 17-0 and that trend looks set to continue now we're into the second half of the season. Without one of them in the lineup, they're 15-12.

Capela believes Saturday demonstrated that the Rockets are good enough to keep up with the Warriors, as he told ESPN's Tim MacMahon: "We're confident because we know if we're doing what we're supposed to do, we're going to beat them. We've got to keep playing.

"We know that they're going to come back if we have the lead, and we've just got to keep that mindset. Sometimes I feel like, in the past, we were all dragging down after mistakes. But today, we were ready.

"I think that if we're doing what we're supposed to do on defense - all the switches, the weak side - and keep playing our offense by keeping that mentality all game long, we have the weapons to beat them. We are better than them."

The Rockets play next on Monday night when they host the Miami Heat in Houston.
