LOS ANGELES — Up five with 2 ½ minutes left and the Houston Rockets got exactly the kind of game-changing play you would expect: a Reed Sheppard steal. LeBron James rubbed off a screen, headed downhill and there was Sheppard, all (listed) 6' 2", (allegedly) 185 pounds of him stepping in, ripping the ball away from James, jogging ahead for a dunk to stretch the lead to seven and put away a 99–93 Game 5 win.
“Too many unforced mistakes,” James said.
