CC video of the day: Rockets forget to play defense, Gallo goes coast-to-coast for the slam
It' pretty simple - stop the player from scoring the basket. However, it seems the Rockets forgot about this when they faced the Nuggets recently and Danilo Gallinari made the Houston defense look silly.
Off a missed shot by Houston's Chandler Parsons, Gallo snatched the rebound and was off and running. All who was left was James Harden who's defense was less-than-stellar...
