The Houston Rockets ( 11 - 12 ) defeated the Washington Wizards ( 9 - 11 ) 109 - 103 Wednesday at the Verizon Center in Washington , D.C . It was a matchup of two teams failing to live up to expectations , and both relied heavily on their star power to get through the matchup . After the Rockets jumped out to a 13 - point lead at the end of the first quarter , the Wizards bounced back with two impressive quarters of their own and entered the final period with a one - point edge . However , James Harden proved to be too much in the end for Washington . Harden finished with a game - high 42 points , nine rebounds and seven assists in 40 minutes , and absolutely took over in the fourth quarter . Houston 's other star , Dwight Howard , shot just 1 - of - 4 from the field and finished with four points , but was active on the glass , grabbing nine rebounds . Corey Brewer ( 15 ) , Patrick Beverly ( 14 ) and Clint Cappella ( 10 ) round out the four Houston players who scored in double figures . For the Wizards , John Wall did all he could to keep his team in the game , but it ultimately was not enough . The point guard finished with 26 points , 12 assists and nine rebounds in 39 minutes , and while each of the other four starters scored in double figures , the team lacked production from their reserves . The four Washington players to come off the bench managed to score just 21 points . The team also did not do themselves any favors by recording 18 turnovers to just 20 assists . Up next , the Rockets will head home Saturday to take on the Lakers , while the Wizards will travel to New Orleans Friday to play the Pelicans .
