Houston held on to its Midwest Division lead despite a 114-107 loss in Boston during which Rocket forward Ralph Sampson was taken to the hospital on a stretcher after a bad fall. He was released later that evening with a severely bruised back but was sidelined the rest of the week, ending his consecutive-game streak—he had never missed a game in his three NBA seasons—at 236.
