The Washington Wizards ( 22 - 8 ) defeated the Houston Rockets ( 21 - 9 ) 104 - 103 on Monday at the Toyota Center in Houston . Despite out - scoring the Wizards 36 - 26 , marked by a big late quarter run , the Rockets just ran out of time and were n't able to complete the comeback to get the victory in front of their home fans . Free throws may have been the difference in this one , with the Wizards converting on 26 - of - 28 , while the Rockets only hit 14 - of - 23 from the line . The Wizards victory was largely the result of an outstanding performance from Bradley Beal . Beal went 9 - for - 17 from the field and 5 - for - 11 from the three - point line to score a season - high of 33 points . He was able to get to the line at will , converting on a perfect 10 - of - 10 on his free throws . It was a nice breakout performance for him , as he 's averaged 15 points thus far this season . Another solid contributor was Paul Pierce who had an efficient 21 points , where he went 7 - for - 9 from the floor and 6 - for - 6 from the free throw line . He 's bumped up his scoring the last few games , combining for 38 points over that span . John Wall did n't have his best shooting performance ( 4 - 10 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt ) , but he still finished with 13 points and was able to add 12 assists , giving him a double - double . The Wizards ' bench had only 16 points in the win . Continuing to perform with MVP-like numbers , James Harden again had a strong showing . He matched a game - high with 33 points , while also contributing six rebounds and four assists . He 's been unstoppable the past two weeks , as he 's averaging an incredible 34 points per game over his last four outings . Providing Harden some help was Trevor Ariza , who scored 15 points ( 6 - 15 FG , 2 - 8 3Pt , 1 - 1 FT ) and recorded five rebounds . After a poor showing on Sunday , it was good to see him turn things around . Also , in his second impressive performance in a row , Corey Brewer came off the bench for 15 points ( 5 - 13 FG , 2 - 5 3Pt , 3 - 4 FT ) and two steals . Although he did n't reach the 25 - point mark like he did Sunday , he continued to be a nice spark off the bench since being aquired a little over a week ago from the Minnesota Timberwolves . The Wizards ' next game will be on the road against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday , while the Rockets will be at home against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday .
