James Harden and Eric Gordon led the way for the Rockets who cruised to their season-high ninth straight win.
A night after Gordon ended a streak of 43 straight games where Harden led the team in scoring, the Beard was Houston’s top scorer again. But Gordon had another strong outing, making five 3-pointers for the third straight game and the fourth in five games.
Houston led by as many as 28 in the third quarter but a big run by the Hornets cut the lead to 13 to start the fourth. Houston got 19 points and 15 rebounds from Clint Capela. Chris Paul had 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Harden had 10 assists and six rebounds. Houston was up by 28 later in the third quarter when its offence went cold and the Hornets scored 15 straight points to cut the lead to 91-78 with about a minute left in the period. Walker had nine points, with two 3s and a three-point play, in that stretch. The Rockets missed eight consecutive shots to help the Hornets cut the deficit.
