Earlier this week, the Houston Rockets won at Boston, holding the Celtics to 11 fourth-quarter points to snap a three-game losing streak.

After the game, Houston's Ron Artest credited his team's hard work for the win:

"We sometimes forget that hard work is more important than talent. Last year, Boston had hard work and they had talent. That's why they ran through everybody. I think we're just as talented, but we have to work harder."
