James Harden has been seen as a legitimate MVP candidate in this young NBA season with his ability to stuff the stat sheet with points , assists and rebounds . He has , however , also managed to stuff it with turnovers as of late , especially when his assist number is high . In his last three games with at least 15 assists - - one of which happened in Wednesday night 's loss - - Harden has also posted at least eight turnovers . The 12 turnovers he had Wednesday was his season high and the first time he reached double - digit turnovers this season . For the Raptors , their MVP candidate DeMar DeRozan had another strong , 24 - point performance , but did n't come as easy as the box score may indicate . An astonishing 21 of of his 24 points came in the third quarter Wednesday night , as he managed to score 11 straight points for Toronto at one point in the period . He 's managed to keep his scoring average above 30 points , now at 31 points per game after Wednesday 's performance . The Toronto Raptors defeated the Houston Rockets 115 - 102 at Toyota Center on Wednesday . It was a wire - to - wire victory for the Raptors ( 9 - 6 ) , who ended their two - game slide Wednesday night on the road . While he did n't reach his scoring average on the season , DeMar DeRozan still led the way with 24 points , nine assists and five rebounds in 36 minutes , with DeMarre Carroll managing to score 20 points of his own on 9 - of - 14 shooting . Jonas Valanciunas added a double - double of 15 points and 16 rebounds in what was a great night for the Toronto starting lineup , who scored 78 of the team 's 115 points . As a team , the Raptors shot a scorching 12 - of - 23 ( 52 percent ) from behind the arc . For the Rockets ( 9 - 6 ) , it was James Harden , as usual , leading the way with 29 points , 15 assists and six rebounds in 41 minutes . He was , however , a bit careless with the basketball , managing 12 turnovers and nearly matching the Raptors ' team total of 14 . As a team , the Rockets had an astonishing 26 turnovers , which led to plenty of empty possessions that ultimately left them with little chance to win Wednesday 's contest . On the bright side , each of the five Houston starters scored in double figures , but Ryan Andersen had the next highest total behind Harden with just 13 points . Up next , the Raptors will head to Milwaukee on Friday to take on the Bucks , while the Rockets will travel Friday to Sacramento and play the Kings .
