The Houston Rockets were outplayed in the final period and their luck ran out when Chris Paul made it very hard for them to reclaim the game. James Harden, as expected, led the team with 32 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and three triples but they needed more from Russell Westbrook who only had 17 points, four rebounds, three assists and a glaring seven turnovers. Robert Covington helped with 18 points, five rebounds, five steals and three blocks while Daniel House came off the bench with 12 points. They needed Eric Gordon to come up with a better game as he only shot 25% from the field.
