The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Houston Rockets 113 - 108 Thursday at Toyota Center . With 8:30 left in the fourth quarter and the Rockets ( 36 - 17 ) up 20 , the same seemed all but over , especially with both Paul Millsap and Dennis Schroeder on the bench and not looking to return for the Hawks ( 29 - 21 ) . But then , from there , Houston stopped hitting their shots and Tim Hardaway Jr. refused to miss his . Hardaway went on to score 23 points in the final quarter , outscoring the Rockets 23 - 22 all by himself and willing the Hawks to a much - needed road victory . Hardaway finished with 33 points on 12 - of - 18 shooting from the field , and his performance ended up overshadowing the return to Houston for Dwight Howard , who put together his best performance of the season against his old team , recording 24 points and 23 rebounds in 37 minutes . For the Rockets , everything was going right for them through three quarters , and more importantly , everything was going right for James Harden , who had been going through a bit of a slump as of late . Harden finished with a game - high 41 points , eight rebounds , eight assists and four steals . Clint Capela also put together a nice game down low , scoring 22 points and grabbing nine boards in 31 minutes . Unfortunately for Houston , no lead was safe , and in the end , their poor shooting down the stretch cost them . The team ended up shooting just 38 percent from the field and 26 percent from behind the arc . Up next , the Hawks will head home Saturday to take on the Magic , while the Rockets will look to bounce back Friday against the Bulls . It was n't the usual cast of characters that carried the Hawks to their comeback victory against the Rockets on Thursday , as Tim Hardaway Jr. , Dwight Howard and rookie DeAndre Bembry all put together season - best performances in the outing . First , the star of the show was Hardaway , who , after putting up 23 points in the fourth quarter , ended up with a career - high 33 points on 12 - of - 18 shooting from the field . Howard , who came into Thursday 's contest recording five double - doubles in his last six games , had his most productive performance of the season , posting 24 points and 23 rebounds in 37 minutes . Lastly , Bembry , who has only occasionally seen quality minutes this season , played 21 minutes and shot 5 - of - 6 from the field en route to scoring a season - high 10 points and grabbing a season - high three rebounds .
