Even first-time Olympian Max Esposito thinks the parallels between his modern pentathlon performance and his sisters efforts are freaky. Patrick Beverley Clippers Jersey .The 19-year-old finished seventh in Rio - the same mark his Rio gold medal-winning sibling claimed in London.Esposito also went into the final round with a 45-second handicap, the same mark Chloe Esposito stormed home from to win gold on Friday night.And Chloe struggled with her fencing in 2012, just as Max did, ultimately leaving him just six seconds from claiming a bronze medal on Saturday.My fencing is always up and down, up and down like a rollercoaster, Esposito said after the race.Australians will be hoping the next parallel is Esposito winning gold in Tokyo 2020.He finished 29th in the fencing but placed in the top four in every other event.Esposito swam the fourth-fastest 200 metres, and scored the maximum possible points in the equestrian section, to sit 17th overall.Esposito was on the verge of fourth overall at one point in the combined running and shooting event, but a mixed final shooting performance cut valuable seconds from his chase.I was really happy with my running, the shooting I thought I could have done better, but I think a little bit of the crowd and people (distracted me), he said.Esposito said finishing seventh against athletes he watched as a 15-year-old in London was unbelievable.In my head I said `I want to get top 10 but I didnt tell anyone because I didnt want to jinx myself, he said.The Espositos are trained by their father Daniel - himself a former Olympian - and are known for their commitment.Weve got a reputation from all the pentathletes that we are psycho trainers, he said.Well, today coming here and showing that we can get a good result by Chloe getting gold and me getting seventh, shows hard training pays off.Russias Alexander Lesun won gold despite finishing 20th or worse in all the events bar the fencing, which he won.The Ukraines Pavlo Tymoshchenko won silver and Mexicos Ismael Hernandez Uscanga won bronze, just six seconds ahead of Esposito.So will Australians see Esposito in Tokyo?One hundred per cent.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets were determined to get off to a fast start and keep the pressure on Philadelphia after seeing the 76ers rally after trailing big on several occasions this season.They executed that plan perfectly.James Harden scored 23 of his 33 points in the first quarter, and the Rockets cruised to a 115-88 win over the 76ers on Monday night.We came in, made shots and defensively really locked in and didnt give them any confidence early in the game, Harden said. Theyve had a couple of games where theyve lost down the stretch against some really good teams, especially at home. So it was important for us to go out there and take advantage of the opportunity.Harden, who posted a triple-double in his previous two games, added nine assists and seven rebounds.The Rockets had a three-point lead with five minutes left in the first quarter when Harden took over, scoring all of Houstons points in a 17-9 surge to make it 35-24. Harden, who was named Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday, made a pair of 3s, all three shots after being fouled on a 3-pointer and a nifty reverse layup in that span.He made each of the eight shots he attempted in the quarter to set a career high for points in a period.The first quarter was ridiculous, Houston coach Mike DAntoni said.The Sixers were led by Joel Embiid and Ersan Ilyasova, who had 13 points apiece.Harden cooled off after his huge first quarter and didnt score in the second period, but the Rockets still had a 65-52 lead at the break.The 76ers made just five of 19 shots in the third quarter, and Houston stretched its lead to 93-68 entering the fourth.We felt like it was still in us to make this into a game, but the game got away from us, coach Brett Brown said. We saw a great player dominate the first period and we dug ourselves a hole from the beginning.Harden is off to a stellar start this season in his first season in DAntonis fast-paced offense. He has scored at least 24 points in each of Houstons first 10 games this season. Louis Williams Jersey.
