Houston Rockets stars James Harden and Chris Paul combined for 57 points in a hard-fought Game Four, to help Houston claim the 95-92 victory over the Golden State Warriors in the West Finals at Oracle Arena on Tuesday.

The Warriors started with 12-0, then Houston tightened up defensively, just in time.

Midway through the third quarter, Houston is on top by five, but Stephen Curry let fly from the parking lot and the Chef finished with a team-high 28.

And then on the Warriors next possession, Curry did it again to give the hosts the lead 63-62 who contributed six threes this game.

With two and a half minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Chris Paul found Eric Gordon who drains the trey to give the Rockets a five point edge.

With half a second left, the Warriors had one more chance. Curry got off the shot, but it's no good and the Rockets hang on to win 95-92, even the series 2-2 apiece and retaking home court advantage before Game Five in Houston on Thursday.
