After the game, Beverley explained what went down:
"That's actually the first time we've exchanged words this postseason. But he's a really good player. He applies a lot of pressure just due to his athleticism and his creating ability.
"But it shocked me, because he looked up and said, 'No one can guard me, I got 40 points.' I said, 'That's nice. You took 34 shots to get it.' I'm not out here trying to bash anybody, but I mean, men lie, women lie, but the numbers don't. Collectively, as a unit, we've done a great job on him. We tried to make him shoot a lot of tough shots, and the numbers show it."
Houston claimed a 4-1 series victory with Tuesday night's 105-99 win. Beverley had 15 points on 6-for-10 shooting, eight rebounds, three assists and a steal; James Harden led the Rockets with 34 points on 8-for-25 shooting.
