The Houston Rockets ( 37 - 38 ) came back to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers ( 52 - 22 ) 106 - 100 on Tuesday . This game meant more to Houston than it did Cleveland and the second half shows just that . The Cavaliers carried a 19 - point lead at half , but allowed the Rockets to make a huge comeback in their home building . In fact , the Rockets outscored the Cavaliers 64 to 41 in the second half . Houston 's defense was key , as they held Cleveland to 36 percent shooting and outrebounded them 55 to 38 . This win put Houston solely in the eight - seed and it may be their biggest win of the season . James Harden really stepped up in the fourth quarter , as he scored 16 of his 27 points in the final 12 minutes . Dwight Howard double - doubled in an 11 - point , 11 - rebound outing , despite shooting 7 - for - 22 from the free - throw line . Michael Beasley was a nice spark off the bench , as he scored 17 , while grabbing eight boards . On deck for the Rockets is a matchup with the Chicago Bulls on Thursday . Cleveland played this game without a rested LeBron James and they clearly did n't have the fire they needed to win this game . Kyrie Irving did step up in his absence though , as he accumulated 31 points and eight assists . Tristan Thompson recorded a double - double off the bench as well , as he totaled 16 points and 10 rebounds . The Cavaliers will look to bounce back on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets in their next game . Cleveland actually lost to the Nets the last time they played , so look for them to avenge that loss as a huge favorite .
