i do not consider this shot clutch for the simple fact houston lost this game. but this game was a a turning point for hakeem and the rockets francise. i remember thought i was only 9 at the time. that after the game hakeem and rundy t were pisst that they lost i remember after the game hakeem saide, next year i well be dominate and look for the rockets to be at the top. and damn were they back to back title baby. HOW SWEET!!!! IT IS

Making a clutch shot doesn't mean you have to win though. Duncan made a clutch shot against the lakers a couple years ago but they still lost with Fishers shot at the end. The fact that they lost doesnt make the shot unclutch.

@k7dog haha i wont deny this is a little bit of a homer comment but Houston is a little lucky they didnt meet Seattle in 93-94 or 94-95 they were the only team that really seemed to have there number beating them 92-93 and 95-96 in the postseason. But i did love watching the Dream work David Robinson. I dont much care for Horry though since he hip checked Nash in 06-07 costing PHX that series.

@cburns1689 Don't forget Rockets beats them in 97'. The 93' series could have went either way and the Rockets were still missing a couple of pieces from their championship years. On top of that Rockets got a handful of bad calls in Game 7 of that series that could have easily changed the outcome. The 96' Rockets hobbled into the playoffs. They weren't the same team.

Robert Horry's number should be retired on every team he's played on (except the Suns-Ha!Ha!) he was the greatest role player to have played the game.He was the driving force behind those come from behind victories.on those last second shots.

@2008sALINAs agree 100%. your team doesn't have to win for a shot to be amazing and or clutch

@mr10tomidnight Although without Maxwell's performance in Game Three of the 1994 Western Conference Semifinals at Phoenix (31 points in the second half after Houston trailed by 8 points at halftime, in danger of going down 0-3 in the series), the Rockets wouldn't have won one championship, let alone two.

@k7dog So you can only hit a clutch shot if your team wins? I think that you've confused "clutch" for "game-winning."

[mr10tomidnight]

They should but Maxwell will always be remembered for being sent home in the 95'playoffs.Cassel was an explosive shooter he's the main reason why Houston could survive without "Mad Max" Elie spent enough time with Houston to get his number retired and with his toughness he even got San Antonio to play tough and not soft.If Houston is going to retire Yao's # they should throw in those other 2 guys you mentioned!

@mr10tomidnight They should also retire Maxwells, Cassel's, Elie's, Smith's, Thorpe's... and maybe throw in Rober Reid's and Ralph Sampson's.

@2008sALINAs Hell yeah, we would have beaten the Suns and the Bulls since we owned the season series over the Bulls and we know what happened to the Suns in '94 and '95 vs. the Rockets.

@cburns1689 i agree, as a HOU fan i mention this when talking with dumb nba fans who try to say rockets won because MJ wasnt playing. simply wasnt true.. the NBA is about match-ups and HOU always matched up well with CHI. the reason they won those 2 titles is because they didnt have to face SEA who created mismatches for HOU.. those 2 years could have very well ended up being sonics 2 titles had they needed to go through HOU en-route to the finals taking advantage of a jordanless league
