Rockets beat Jazz 104-101 for 3-0 series lead

MATTHEW COLES (Associated Press)The Associated Press

Harden overcame a poor shooting performance and scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Houston Rockets to a 104-101 win Saturday over the Utah Jazz for a commanding 3-0 lead in their first-round playoff series. Not much has worked against Harden for the Jazz, and even when they thought they had him trapped, they weren't able to control The Beard for a full game. The Jazz didn't take it easy on Harden, and took every opportunity to knock him down, even when it sent him to the line.
