Sunday 5 May 2019 09:18, UK
Houston Rockets center Clint Capela produced a stunning block on Andre Iguodala as his team claimed a 126-121 overtime win over the Golden State Warriors.
Capela struggled on the road in the first two games of the Western Conference semi-final series, particularly in the opener, but bounced back to form as the Rockets reduced the deficit to 2-1 with victory on their home floor in the early hours of Sunday.
The Swiss recorded a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds but the play on Iguodala in the final minute of the first quarter was easily his biggest of the series so far.
Capela denied Iguodala emphatically as the veteran Warrior attempted to have his way at the rim, sending the Toyota Center into raptures.
James Harden led the Rockets with 41 points as he shone down stretch to help his side to victory. Eric Gordon also impressed with a playoff career-high outing of 30 points, including an impressive first half where he shot 8-for-14 from the field.
Kevin Durant was the star performer for the visitors, scoring 46 points for the Warriors in defeat.
