The Houston Rockets ( 22 - 20 ) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers ( 9 - 34 ) 112 - 95 at Staples Center on Sunday . James Harden came into the contest as the NBA 's second leading scorer with 28 point per game and exceeded his yearly mark to lead all scorers with 31 points , to go along with three rebounds and five assists . While 31 points is not breaking news , it is impressive that Harden did it in just over 27 minutes of play and on 10 - of - 17 shooting . Dwight Howard and Clint Capela dominated the glass , and proved to be far too much for the Lakers frontcourt to handle , as both bigs combined for 26 rebounds alongside 14 points each . The rebounding battle , 51 - 36 , was heavily in favor of Houston , who disallowed the Lakers to keep most offensive possessions alive , after holding the young opposition to just three offensive rebounds . Ty Lawson , Marcus Thornton and Montrezl Harrell provided double figures off the bench and saw increased minutes in the fourth quarter , after the Rockets were comfortably ahead by 20 points throughout most of the second half . The Rockets will stay in Los Angeles and face the Clippers ( 26 - 14 ) in the second game of a back - to - back on Monday . The Lakers were handed another loss and the 10 win mark of the season continues to be an uphill battle . Coming off a loss to the Utah Jazz on Saturday , the Lakers improved upon their shot selection , as seen by 45 percent shooting as a unit . Los Angeles entered the half down only three points , but the same storyline troubles the team : youth , inexperience and rebounding . Julius Randle seems to be busting out of his slump and pitched in a double - double with 12 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes , however , he did lose the matchup with Clint Capela , who beat Randle with speed and strength on the glass . Kobe Bryant played more of a point guard oriented role , scoring five points on five shots while dishing out nine assists . Most of Randle 's baskets were easy handoffs from Bryant as he would storm the lane , draw the double team , and find his sophomore forward waiting patiently for an easy dunk . Lou Williams shot more efficiently en route to a second straight 20 points performance and Jordan Clarkson rounded out the stat sheet with 16 points , three assists , three rebounds and two steals . The Lakers will host the Sacramento Kings ( 17 - 23 ) on Wednesday .
