The Houston Rockets defeated the Chicago Bulls , 115 - 94 , at United Center on Friday evening . The Rockets ( 45 - 21 ) have been one of the NBA 's best squads all season , and a great deal of their success is rightfully attributed to their prolific offense . Typically , it 's the spectacular efforts of James Harden that spearhead the Houston attack , but Friday 's path to victory was a bit of a departure from the norm . It was the returning Ryan Anderson , who 'd missed the team 's tilt against the Jazz on Wednesday with a back injury , that led the way with 21 points , three rebounds and one steal . Additionally , a stellar defensive effort , one that saw Houston limit their hosts to success rates of 39 percent from the field and 23 percent from three - point range , while also forcing them into 18 turnovers , that was pivotal to the win . The Rockets also outscored the Bulls ( 31 - 34 ) by a whopping 69 - 30 margin over the second and third periods , sealing the win before the fourth quarter even began . Harden was second behind Anderson with 19 points , 13 assists , seven rebounds and three steals . He left the game late in the first quarter for a time after getting his foot stepped on but ultimately returned . Clint Capela followed with 17 points , seven boards and one assist . Trevor Ariza turned in an 11 - point , 13 - rebound double - double that also included one assist and two steals . Lou Williams led the bench with 18 points , three rebounds , one assist , two steals and one block .
