2004 Regular Season
McGrady 13 in 33
Rockets vs San Antonio
81 - 80
9 December, 2004
Tracy McGrady's 13 points in 33 seconds is one of the all-time greatest performances by any basketball player. Down by 8 points with 35 ticks left on the clock, McGrady drove the court and put up the first, of what would be, four 3-pointers. San Antonio went 4-for-4 on free-throws, but it didn't matter. Down by 2 points with 1.7 seconds left on the clock, McGrady made his final 3-pointer to win the game.
1994 Finals: Game 6
Olajuwon blocks Starks
Rockets vs New York
86 - 84
19 June, 1994
1994 was the year Houston earned the title 'Clutch City' after overcoming a 0-2 deficit against Phoenix in the Conference Semifinals. It was a title they earned over again in the 7 game series with New York for the championship. Down 3-2 in the critical Game 6, Houston was up a basket and there were only seconds left on the clock, but New York had the ball and a chance to win. Hakeem Olajuwon came up huge, blocking John Stark's 3 point attempt that would have given New York the title. The block forced Game 7, which Houston won to bring home their first championship title.
1995 Western Conference Semis: Game 7
Kiss of Death
Rockets vs Phoenix
115 - 114
20 May, 1995
A year after turning "Choke City" to "Clutch City," Houston was once again falling behind 0-2 to Phoenix and then to 1-3 in the Conference Semifinals. But once again Houston battled back, becoming the first team to ever overcome such a playoff deficit. In Game 7 Mario Elie hit a clutch three with 7 seconds left on the clock and blew Phoenix fans what became known as the "Kiss of Death." Phoenix wont the series and went on to sweep Orlando in the Finals for Houston's second title.
1986 Western Conference Finals: Game 5
Sampson's game winner
Rockets vs Los Angeles
114 - 112
21 May, 1986
Houston was a huge underdog against the defending champs, but Los Angeles was only able to get a win in one game against Houston. Los Angeles put up a strong effort in a high scoring Game 5 and had the score tied at 112 with only a second left on the clock. That's when Ralph Sampson stunned them with a jumper off an inbound pass from Rodney McCray with no time left on the clock. The shot sent Los Angeles home and sent Houston to the NBA Finals.
Common questions
Are these a good gift for a Rockets fan?▾
Yes. This coaster set is made for a Rockets fan who really knows and loves the team. They’ll recognize moments like McGrady 13 in 33 and Olajuwon blocks Starks, and each coaster gives them another piece of Rockets history to talk about. It’s more than a logo on a coaster — it’s a way to relive the plays and memories that made them a fan. It’s especially suited to a dad, husband, friend, or hard-to-shop-for Rockets fan who already owns the usual team gear.
Is this a good Christmas gift for a Rockets fan?▾
Yes. These coasters make a unique Christmas gift for Rockets fans, especially someone who already has plenty of jerseys, hats, and traditional team gear. Each coaster brings back a memorable moment from Rockets history, making the set both useful and personal to someone who really follows the team. Our coaster sets are especially popular as Christmas gifts, with more than 16,000 five-star reviews across Shopify and Etsy.
One customer wrote: “The quality is insane, perfectly matched description. Bought for my dad for Christmas and as a man that is incredibly hard to buy for he loved them and are a great convo starter with his friends, Great gift would buy from this seller again.” — Etsy Customer, January 11, 2023
What makes these different from traditional sports merchandise?▾
These coasters focus on memorable plays rather than a team logo. Each one features an original Playbook diagram of a real Rockets play, drawn to show how the moment unfolded. Playbook Products is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Rockets or the NBA.
How long do Rockets coaster orders take to ship?▾
Most Rockets coaster orders are processed within 1–2 business days, then typically arrive 2–4 business days after they ship (U.S.). During busy holiday periods, processing can take longer. A delivery date shown on this page is an estimate.
What if a coaster arrives cracked or damaged?▾
Send us a photo of the damaged coaster within 14 days of delivery and we'll send a replacement. Please hold onto the damaged coaster until we let you know otherwise.
Are these coaster designs AI-generated?▾
No. I've spent hundreds of hours reviewing footage of these plays and drawing them up as they happened. The finished drawings are laser-etched onto the coasters using our own machines. The artwork is not generated by AI. I appreciate you supporting a small business.
