Rockets eye stronger finishing effort, take on Jazz

The Houston Rockets appeared to have righted the ship concerning their early-season struggles in late-game situations, but that issue reappeared against the New York Knicks on Saturday.

Houston blew an 18-point fourth-quarter lead in its 108-106 loss. After posting a combined 70 points in the middle two periods while building a 91-75 lead entering the fourth, the Rockets recorded only 15 points in the final frame to split a two-game road trip out of the All-Star break.

Houston will host the Utah Jazz on Monday...
