The Warriors tied it at 86 with 3:49 left but made only one field goal the rest of the way. The Rockets did not make any shots in the final 4:42, but Harden and Lin combined to make eight free throws over the final 3 1/2 minutes to secure the win.

Consecutive baskets by Jarrett Jack gave Golden State a 76-73 lead heading into the fourth.
