The Houston Rockets ( 24 - 11 ) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers ( 19 - 17 ) 105 - 93 on Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland . After ending the third quarter down 74 - 73 , the Rockets came out and had a strong fourth quarter , out - scoring the Cavaliers by an impresive 32 - 19 mark , allowing them to steal the victory on the road in Cleveland . The Rockets were able to out - rebound the Cavaliers 50 - 37 , only furthering their advantage in this one . Like he 's done so many times already this season , James Harden led the Rockets to this victory . He came close to a triple - double , finishing with 21 points ( 6 - 18 FG , 2 - 7 3Pt , 7 - 7 FT ) , seven rebounds and nine assists . He did turn the ball over seven times though , so he 'll need to cut those down in the near future . As expected , Dwight Howard was able to use his size advantage over Tristan Thompson and the Cavaliers ' bigs . He went off for 17 points ( 6 - 13 FG , 5 - 11 FT ) and 19 rebounds , marking his third double - double in a row . He 's averaged 17 points and 15 rebounds over that stretch of three games . Trevor Ariza was able to do it on both sides of the ball , recording 13 points ( 5 - 13 FG , 3 - 10 3Pt ) , six rebounds and five steals . He 's had a tremendous amount of steals over his last three games , combining for 14 over that period . The Rockets did have solid contributions off their bench as well with Josh Smith scoring 16 points ( 7 - 10 FG , 1 - 2 3Pt , 1 - 4 FT ) and Corey Brewer adding 12 points ( 4 - 8 FG , 2 - 3 3Pt , 2 - 2 FT ) . The Cavaliers got most of their production out of their two superstars , Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love . Irving had the biggest contribution , going 15 - for - 26 from the field and 4 - for - 8 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 38 points . The points were a season - high for him as well , as he 's continued to get off the bulk of the shots with LeBron James still sitting out . Love on the other hand notched another double - double , finishing with 17 points ( 7 - 19 FG , 0 - 3 3Pt , 3 - 6 FT ) and 16 rebounds . It marked his third double - double in a row , where he 's averaged 25 points and 15 rebounds between those games . The only other Cavalier to reach double - digit points was Tristan Thompson , who added 11 points ( 2 - 7 FG , 7 - 7 FT ) and six rebounds of his own . The Cavaliers ' bench combined for only 13 points . The Rockets ' next game will be on the road against the New York Knicks on Thursday , while the Cavaliers will travel to Oakland to play the Golden State Warriors on Friday .
