NBA's 60 Greatest Playoff Moments: #55

Mario Elie Kiss Of Death; Game 7, 1995 Western Conference Semifinals:
"After already having come back from a 2-1 series deficit in the first round, Houston completes yet another stunning comeback, this time from 3-1 down against the Suns as Mario Elie nails the game-winning three-pointer from the left corner and then blows a kiss to the hushed Phoenix crowd. On its way to the title, Houston would be known as Clutch City." - NBA.com

Yea does anyone realize that after the rockets won back-to-back titles they changed uniforms the next year? I still believe if the team had not done that they would have won back-to-back-to-back titles...

The Rockets should go back to those jerseys...

@Quilboltferret you guys got me both wrong. i am a rockets fan. i was talking to that guy bragging about how we'll never beat the suns again by telling him his city could have never been called Clutch City, like the great Houston did. Relax. I'm on your side. ;)

Elie, Horry, Smith, and Maxwell were deadly from 3. Mostly because the guys inside hand to contend with the Dream and needed help.
