The Rockets are 34-3 when Harden and Paul have both played this season, and only 10 of those games have qualified for the clutch designation. Of those 10 games, the Rockets have been outscored only once in clutch time with Harden and Paul on the floor together, and that exception could come with an asterisk. The exception occurred on Dec. 31, when the Los Angeles Lakers outscored the Rockets by one point in moments that fit the clutch definition before Harden left in the final minute of regulation due to a strained hamstring.

From the linked article. I shudder to think how many games HOU would have won had Chris not missed nearly 20 games. We are talking a 75 win team.
