HOUSTON -- Before Wednesday night's game against the Utah Jazz, Houston coach Kevin McHale got his team together and explained the possible implications for the postseason.
 
Apparently, the Rockets played close attention to McHale's pregame talk.
 
James Harden had 29 points and the Rockets improved their positioning in the Western Conference playoff race with a 100-93 victory.
 
Jeremy Lin scored 24 for the Rockets, who currently hold the No. 7 spot in the West. They lead the idle Los Angeles Lakers by 1½ games and are three ahead of the sliding Jazz.
 
"We only have a handful of games left, and this game today was a huge game from standings, to them trying to catch us, to us having the tiebreaker," Harden said. "Guys played like it, especially at the beginning."
 
The Rockets led by 19 points after three quarters and withstood a late surge by the Jazz to hold on for the victory.
