The Houston Rockets ( 9 - 1 ) defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder ( 3 - 8 ) 69 - 65 on Sunday at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City . This was an all - around ugly game for both teams , marked by a few scuffles and technicals along the way . Both teams shot very poorly , as Houston shot 29 percent from the field and 20 percent from the three - point line , while Oklahoma City shot 29 percent from the field and 16 percent from beyond the arc . The Rockets did take a 54 - 45 rebounding advantage by the end of the game , which may have allowed them the ugly victory . For the Rockets , James Harden had a game - high 19 points , while also adding nine rebounds and five assists . He struggled with his three - point shot though , as he only went 2 - for - 9 from behind the three - point line . Dwight Howard came one rebound shy of his eigth double - double of the season , as he finished with 12 points and nine rebounds . He struggled offensively and could n't reach his season average of 19 points per game . Trevor Ariza chipped in 11 points , but also shot pretty poorly , as he went 4 - for - 11 from the field and 1 - for - 4 from the three - point line . The Rockets bench had a meager eight total points , with Francisco Garcia scoring six of those eight , so they did n't offer much help to the starters . Patrick Beverley ( hamstring ) returned to action for the Rockets after missing four game . He played 29 minutes as the starting point guard . The Thunder were led by Lance Thomas and Reggie Jackson , who scored 15 points a piece . Jackson had a surprising season - high 11 rebounds , but shot only 3 - for - 11 from the field . Most of his points came from the free - throw line as he converted on a perfect nine for nine . The 15 points for Thomas were also a season - high for him , although like Jackson , he got most of his production from the free - throw line , where he made 7 - of - 8.The only other Thunder player to reach double figures was Serge Ibaka , as he contributed 10 points and six rebounds . Continuing to come off the bench since returning from MCL surgery , Anthony Morrow struggled mightily as well , shooting only 1 - for - 9 from the field and 0 - for - 2 from beyond the arc for four points . Normally , scoring only 65 points would mean a blowout , but surprisingly , it kept the Thunder very much alive in this one . The Rockets ' next game will be on the road against the Memphis Grizzles on Monday , while the Thunder will also go on the road to Utah to play the Jazz on Tuesday .
