Nene literally could not miss in Game 4.

The Houston Rockets center tied an NBA playoff record Sunday for the most field goals without a miss, joining Larry McNeill as the only two players to go 12-for-12 in a postseason game.

Nene also joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only other player to collect at least 20 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 100 percent from the field in a playoff contest.

The 6-foot-11 big man was spectacular off the bench for Houston in Game 4, finishing with 28 points, 10 rebounds, an assist, and a steal in the 113-109 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
