Rockets coach Kevin McHale is eager to continue playing Jeremy Lin and Patrick Beverley together in the backcourt. "I thought earlier in the year, they were our best combination on the floor," McHale said. "Those two have a nice symmetry between them ... I like that combination. With injuries, we haven't been able to [pair them] as much as we have wanted to." Lin and Beverley have shared the court for just over 300 minutes this season, during which time the Rockets are shooting 46.2 percent from the field while holding their opponents to just 41.8 percent shooting.
