Houston have been doing special things on offense this season , but their 140 points in this win marks a season - high . They did that damage by hitting 56 percent of their shots and going 36 - of - 43 from the free - throw line . In addition , Houston dominated the rebounding and assisting differentials on their way to an easy win . James Harden added another triple - double to his tally , as he led the team with 30 points , 13 rebounds and 10 assists on 10 - of - 15 shooting . Montrezl Harrell came off the bench to drop a career - high 29 points on 10 - of - 14 shooting . Trevor Ariza accumulated 18 points , four rebounds and seven assists . Raymond Felton did all he could , as he led the Clippers with 26 points , five rebounds and eight assists off the bench . DeAndre Jordan played motivated in his homecoming game , totaling 20 points and 13 rebounds on 9 - of - 11 shooting .. The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Houston Rockets , 140 - 116 , at Toyota Center on Friday . These are two teams going in opposite directions right now , as the Rockets put it to the Clippers in this blowout win . Not only did they score at least 32 points in every quarter , they shot 56 percent from the field against one of the best defenses in the NBA . The Rockets did have a 26 - point lead that was brought down to six in the fourth quarter , but they responded with a 160 run to take control late . Houston took advantage of a happy whistle , as they went 36 - of - 43 from the free - throw line , while Los Angles took just 16 free - throw attempts . The Rockets also won the rebounding ( 45 - 38 ) and assisting ( 29 - 22 ) differential by seven a piece , as they never trailed after the first quarter . The Clippers ( 22 - 13 ) had to play this game without Chris Paul and Blake Griffin , as they were simply outmatched against a hot Rockets bunch . The frustration hit the fan too , as Austin Rivers and Doc Rivers were both ejected in the second quarter . Raymond Felton did all he could to keep them hanging around , as he led the team with 26 points , five rebounds and eight assists off the bench . DeAndre Jordan led the starters in his homecoming game , as he totaled 20 points and 13 rebounds on 9 - of - 11 shooting . Jamal Crawford and J.J. Redick struggled , as they combined for 13 points on 5 - of - 19 shooting . Marreese Speights played well off the bench , accruing 15 points and seven rebounds . Los Angeles will look to play better on Saturday , when they play the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road . The Rockets ( 25 - 9 ) have been dominant on offense all season , but this 140 - spot marked their high of the year . James Harden recorded yet another triple - double , as he accumulated 30 points , 13 rebounds , 10 assists and five steals on 10 - of - 15 shooting . Montrezl Harrell was second on the team , as he dropped a career - high 29 points on 10 - of - 14 shooting off the bench . Trevor Ariza collected 18 points , four rebounds and seven assists , while Patrick Beverley provided 15 points , seven rebounds and three assists of his own . Eric Gordon scored 19 points off the bench on 5 - of - 7 shooting . Houston plays again on Saturday , as they host the New York Knicks for their next game .
