This week in the NBA: London, Rockets and Cousins feature

Everyone should be happy to have Boogie back in action.

Eric Gordon is Houston’s Rocket man

You’d be forgiven for thinking Houston was just James Harden and his supporting cast. But against LA Lakers it was Gordon who fired up the Rockets.

The shooting guard netted 16 of his 30 points in the final two minutes as the game spilled into overtime.

The Rockets went on to win 138-134 in just Gordon’s second appearance after injury.

Harden has praised his team-mate as a ‘big-game player’ who can take the ‘burden off’ him.

This performance proved Gordon’s clutch control is still in gear and he could be a secret weapon going into the play-offs.

What’s next for Carmelo Anthony?

Houston Rockets have agreed to sign Brooklyn Nets big-man Kenneth Faried in the coming months.

It all means the ten-time NBA All-star Carmelo Anthony will be on his way out of the Rockets.

This is a far cry from Anthony’s time at Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks where he was almost untouchable.

The 34-year-old is looking for his swansong and one more shot in a competitive side.

LA Lakers seems a likely destination for Melo to continue his career, but Phoenix Suns may want Anthony to spearhead their side next season.

The NBA icon is in the wilderness right now, and it would be sad to see the veteran’s career grind to a halt now.
