After discovering before Sunday's Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs that his grandfather had passed away, Patrick Beverley went out and scored 10 points in the Rockets' 125-104 win, including the first bucket of the game.

With his emotions still raw after the game, he talked about how he considered flying to Chicago to be with his family instead of playing.
