  • Relive the history of Rockets basketball all in one place! Exclusively on RUclips, Rockets Cuts brings you all of the big games, performances, and moments spanning over five decades. Episode 6 features two of Vernon Maxwell's legendary performances. First, his 51- point explosion in 1991 vs Cleveland, including 30 points in the 4th quarter. And following a collapse against Phoenix in Game 2 of the 1994 Western Conference Semifinals, watch the birth of "Clutch City" in Game 3 as the Rockets get an inspiring come-from-behind victory over the Suns, led by a dominant 2nd half by Mad Max.

      Underrated for sure! He was a great defender against some of the best shooting guards of all time!

      MadMax was a stud on offense off of the dribble when he was mad focused ,he just was edgy and had a feast or phamen midrange game because he got obsessed with shooting the 3pointers beyond the line when he wasn't cherry picking for a breakaway open court above the rim finish or Dunk for the crowd IMO....he looked to dish and force feed Thorpe and Olajawan because of their system he didn't go as hard on offense later in his Houston stint. He seemed to let Akeem Olajawan dominate ,but max was a fierce competitor

    Awesome! Should've had the 22-1 with Maxwell game winner in there of 93-94. Really hope we get some Otis Thorpe & Herrera highlights. Otis Thorpe needs to have his 93-94 career high 40 points vs. Hornets and big performance vs. Malone in 94 WCF. Herrera of his 21 points vs. Suns in 92-93 with 8 dunks, a few of them on Barkley and Game 6 vs. Knicks of course.

    @14:45 what a steal and hustle play by Hakeem
    And then the clinching dunk by Hakeem was a statement to PHX and their home crowd. For Hakeem to do that last dunk was a powerful message and one of weight that Hakeem understood PHX fans couldn’t get to excited to stand against since Hakeem did take MVP honors away from Barkley. Hakeem was a different star 🌟 in 1994.
    The reaction by the Houston team was a nother statement. & Hakeem was giving his people a positive way to exert their emotions.

      MadMax was more like a Alpha westcoast John Starks IMO,, max was more clutch than Westbrook eventho they both had high motors but Westbrook has next level athleticism &hops and that Latrell SPREEWELL rage and emotion behind each play.
