The Houston Rockets ( 1 - 3 ) got their first win of the season Monday , holding off the Oklahoma City Thunder ( 3 - 1 ) 110 - 105 at the Toyota Center . After struggling mightily in the first three games of the season , James Harden turned in a vintage performance to defeat his former team . He scored 37 points ( 12 - 26 FG , 4 - 12 3Pt , 9 - 11 FT ) with five rebounds , three assists , and three steals in a team - high 38 minutes . If Houston wants to match its win total of 56 from last season , Harden is going to have to have more games like this one . Russell Westbrook came two rebounds shy of his first triple - double of 2015 - 16 , scoring 25 points ( 10 - 16 FG , 3 - 6 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) with 11 assists and eight boards in 32 minutes . While it was a big fantasy night for Westbrook , he turned the ball over seven times and was in foul trouble for most of the game . The Thunder just were n't able to keep up with Harden and the Rockets while Westbrook sat on the bench . Kevin Durant had a solid game with 29 points and Serge Ibaka posted a 12 - point , 14 - rebound double - double . Harden was the star of the game , but Ty Lawson 's performance ca n't go overlooked . Lawson seemed out of place over the first three games of his Houston career , but came up big in this one , chipping in 14 points and 11 assists . He also had four steals and did a nice job of taking care of the ball against a feisty Oklahoma City backcourt . Dwight Howard , who sat out of Sunday 's loss to the Heat to rest his back , added 16 points and eight rebounds in his return to the lineup . The Rockets will look to build on their first win Wednesday against the Magic at home . The Thunder will head back home for a matchup against the Raptors .
