The Houston Rockets defeated the Sacramento Kings 105 - 83 Tuesday at Toyota Center . This game was never close , as the Rockets ( 36 - 16 ) jumped out to an early lead and did n't think about giving it up . After what was a dominant second quarter , Houston held a 19 point lead heading into the locker room while the Kings ( 19 - 30 ) , who were playing their eighth road game in 11 days , looked utterly defeated . Ryan Anderson put together one of his best performances of the season in the win , scoring a game - high 25 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in just 27 minutes . Eric Gordon shined off the bench , scoring 17 points on 7 - of - 15 shooting from the field . James Harden , on the other hand , struggled for the second straight game , scoring just 10 points on 3 - of - 9 shooting , but he did record eight assists and seven rebounds in 32 minutes . For the Kings , it was a fairly uninspired performance , and it started with their star big man DeMarcus Cousins . Cousins shot just 5 - of - 16 from the field and recorded 16 points , seven rebounds and five assists in 25 minutes . Cousins ' struggles were contagious , as the team overall shot just 35 percent from the field , 28 percent from behind the arc and a lowly 58 percent from the free throw line . The 83 points scored was the Kings 's lowest total since mid - December , and they have now lost two of their last three games . Up next , the Rockets will remain home Thursday to take on the Hawks , while the Kings will finally return home Friday to play the Suns . DeMarcus Cousins ' struggles in Tuesday 's game against the Rockets were , in general terms , uncharacteristic of the All-Star center . However , when looking at Cousins ' history following a huge performance , it ends up not being too out of character . Cousins followed up Monday 's monster 46 - point , 15 - rebound performance with a bit of a dud , as he shot just 5 - of - 16 ( 31 percent ) from the field en route to scoring just 16 points . Going back as far as last season , in his last five games where he scored at least 40 points , Cousins followed up with a poor shooting performance the next game . Cousins never shot over 38 percent from the field in any of those five followups and shot as low as 19 percent in one of the outings . Overall , in those five games coming off a 40 - point performance , Cousins shot just 30 - of - 98 ( 31 percent ) from the field .
