The Houston Rockets have qualified for the playoffs now for some time, and they secured their spot as the number one team in the Western Conference and across the NBA this regular season, so now they're just putting on a show on the court until the playoffs arrive.That was true on Tuesday night during the team's game against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center, as they came out 105-99 victors on the night, with their two key players in James Harden and Chris Paul having great games on the hardwood once more.Harden finished the game with 21 points, four rebounds, and 10 assists, while Paul had 22 points, three rebounds, and six assists. He was also 9-of-14 in shooting from the field, helping Houston achieve their 31st victory in the last 34 games.The Rockets point guard had one of the best moves of the night, which was probably one of the most embarrassing nutmegs of the season as well, and it will certainly be a move that is shown on many highlight reels for years to come.In the fourth quarter of the game, Paul had possession of the ball near the Lakers' paint, but he then dribbled it back towards the arc with Ivica Zubac closing in. Magic then occurred when Paul was outside the arc with Zubac really close to him.The Rockets star nutmegged the Lakers center and placed him on skates with one swift movement, and then recollected the ball to continue driving towards the basket for the score. The move though received a huge reaction from the crowd inside the Staples Center.

Before they find out who their playoff first-round opponents will be, the Rockets have one final regular season game left to play, which is against the Sacramento Kings this evening.

However, considering the Rockets are locked into the top seed in the Western Conference, head coach Mike D'Antoni may opt to rest his starters in order to keep them fresh for the postseason, especially after Luc Mbah a Moute suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of the win against the Lakers.
