The Los Angeles Clippers ( 27 - 14 ) defeated the Houston Rockets ( 22 - 21 ) 140 - 132 in overtime at Staples Center on Monday . The Rockets clawed their way back from a 20 - point deficit to begin the fourth quarter by ripping off a 24 - 10 run to end the game , peaking when Marcus Thornton dropped in a game - tying three - pointer with seven seconds remaining in regulation . While Houston took advantage of what was a far too relaxed Clippers squad late in the second half , Thornton 's bench performance was a major spark plug , as he added 23 points on 5 - of - 9 shooting from behind the arc in 22 minutes . Dwight Howard led all Rockets scorers with 36 points , grabbed an absurd 26 rebounds and out muscled DeAndre Jordan ( illness ) , who was overcoming pneumonia in his first game back . James Harden played more to the point guard position than his standard score first mentality , and finished with 20 points and eight assists on only 12 shots in 40 minutes of action . Houston did lose Patrick Beverley early on , as he sprained his ankle , a new ailment from an already beat up ankle injury that kept him sidelined earlier . The Rockets will get a day off before hosting the Detroit Pistons ( 22 - 19 ) on Wednesday . The Clippers set a franchise record with 22 3 - point shots made , spearheaded by JJ Reddick , who set career highs of 40 points and nine treys . Reddick was the definition of lights out shooting ( 11 - of - 19 FG , 9 - of - 12 3PT , 9 - of - 9 FT ) and played a crucial role in the Clippers hanging on to survive in overtime , as the Rockets were not going away lightly . Without Reddick 's clutch free throws down the stretch , Thornton 's game tying 3 - pointer towards the end of regulation may have been enough to complete the comeback . Regardless , it was a well deserved career night for Reddick , who continues to thrive from deep with Blake Griffin ( quad ) sidelined . DeAndre Jordan 's return came with a double - double to the tune of 16 points and 15 rebounds , although he did not seem strong enough to prevent Dwight Howard from almost doubling his own stats . Chris Paul failed to convert the game winning shot as time expired in the 4th quarter , but knocked down clutch baskets in overtime , and contributed 28 points and 12 assists in the win.The Clippers will visit LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers ( 28 - 12 ) on Thursday .
