The Rockets will regret not winning the one game that Jimmy Butler was out this series with his pelvic contusion, because he returned on Monday and had himself a night. Butler scored 14 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter — including hitting free throws that proved to be the game winners — plus secured the game-sealing rebound.
