The Rockets were getting beat inside most of the game Monday when foul trouble and circumstances inspired Kevin McHale to try the counterintuitive move of having his team play bigger by getting smaller. Forward Luis Scola and centers Greg Smith and Samuel Dalembert were in foul trouble, so with Marc Gasol on the bench for Memphis, McHale went with a small lineup, planning to get at least one big man back in soon. He never did. Gasol and Rudy Gay returned to the floor quickly in the fourth quarter, but the Rockets' small lineup was quicker to switch and help and better at cutting off penetration. In the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies missed their first eight shots.
