The Houston Rockets ( 26 - 25 ) defeated the Miami Heat ( 27 - 22 ) 115 - 102 on Tuesday . Both clubs entered the game without their starting centers , but it was a tad more of an unexpected development for the home team . The Rockets found out earlier in the day that Dwight Howard had been suspended for Tuesday night 's game for making contact with an official while protesting a technical foul on Saturday versus the Wizards . With Clint Capela also sidelined with a left hip strain , veteran Josh Smith , reacquired earlier in the month from the Clippers , got the starting call versus Miami . His counterpart on the other side was a well - traveled veteran as well , as Amar'e Stoudemire took the court in Hassan Whiteside 's stead yet again due to the latter 's oblique injury . Both Smith and Stoudemire demonstrated why they 're still viable pieces of their respective squads , with the former coming second only to James Harden in scoring for Houston on the night , and the latter posting a double - double to help keep Miami close the majority of the contest . Ultimately , it was Harden 's remarkable effort , as well as the Rockets ' 52 and 46 percent tallies from the field and three - point range , respectively , that spearheaded the high - scoring victory . Miami was led by Luol Deng , who has come on offensively over the stretch that Whiteside has missed . He managed 17 points , eight rebounds , three assists and a steal . Dwyane Wade was right behind him with a 16 - point , four - rebound , four - assist effort that also included a steal and a block . Goran Dragic turned in a solid performance against the feisty defense of Patrick Beverley , totaling 14 points , four rebounds and six assists . Stoudemire had 14 points of his own , which he supplemented with 10 boards and an assist . The starting five 's tally was rounded out by Chris Bosh , who supplied 13 points , seven rebounds , an assist and a block . Gerald Green pitched in with some scoring punch off the bench in leading the reserves , registering 13 points and adding four rebounds , three assists and a block . With the loss , the Heat fell a half - game back of the Atlanta Hawks for first place in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division . They remain in the state of Texas for a Wednesday night showdown with the Dallas Mavericks . Harden 's 26 points led the Rockets , and he also dished out 14 assists , four rebounds , two steals and a block . Smith checked in with 19 points , four rebounds , an assist , two steals and a block in his spot start . Beverley contributed on the offensive end as well , amassing 14 points , three rebounds , two assists and a block . Marcus Thornton paced the Houston bench with 18 points , five rebounds , three assists and a steal , while Terrence Jones received some extended playing time due to the depleted frontcourt , and turned in 11 points , seven rebounds , an assist and a steal in a reserve role . The Rockets remain in fourth place in the Western Conference 's Southwest Division . They head to Phoenix to face off with the Suns on Thursday .
