The Houston Rockets ( 10 - 11 ) defeated the Sacramento Kings ( 7 - 14 ) 120 - 113 on Saturday . In what was anticipated to be a high - scoring game , fans were n't disappointed with some up - tempo basketball . The Rockets got off nearly 100 shots in the game and the two teams combined to take 60 three - point attempts . There were 12 total players who scored in double - digits , so it was a good night to get your averages up with these bad defenses playing as expected . The free - throw discrepancy was huge as well , as Houston went 32 - for - 43 from the line while the Kings went just 11 - for - 13 . While Sacramento did have seven players score in double figures , nobody scored more than 20 points . DeMarcus Cousins was especially disappointing , as he scored just 14 points on 4 - of - 16 shooting . Rajon Rondo did put in another spectacular line though , as he tallied 13 points , 19 assists and four steals in the loss . Ben McLemore also had one of his best games of the season , as he amassed 19 points , nine rebounds and three steals in the defeat . The problem with this team all year has been its defense and a 120 - point outing certainly wo n't help those numbers . The Kings will look to bounce - back when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday . Houston finally seems to be finding some rhythm after a terrible start to the season . They have now won five of their last six games and the offense is playing as fans hoped at the beginning of the season . The defense is still poor , but when you average 110 - plus points in a stretch like that , it 's hard to lose . This team was built with James Harden and Dwight Howard as the core and those two carried them on Saturday . Harden totaled 31 points and nine assists , while Howard collected 22 points and 18 rebounds in the win . In fact , the two combined to attempt 30 free - throws and that 's usually a recipe for a win . The Rockets will look to keep the hot streak going against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday .
