NBA Daily: Harden's 59 Trumps Beal's 46, as Rockets Outlast Wizards 159-158 By Reylan Loberternos PhilBoxing.com Fri, 01 Nov 2019  Tagbilaran City, Bohol – You read the scores right. In a game reminiscent of an All-Star exhibition match, top protagonists James Harden and Bradley Beal toyed with each other’s opposing defense, as the Houston Rockets edged the Washington Wizards with the slimmest of margins 159-158 Wednesday night (Thursday morning, Philippine time) at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC. Former league MVP James Harden topped all scorers with 59 points on an 18-for-32 field goal shooting, including 6-for-14 from the rainbow territory, to go along with 3 rebounds, 9 assists, and 1 steal in 38 minutes of game action. He also converted on 17 of his 18 attempts at the charity stripe that included the go-ahead freethrow with 2.4 seconds left on the clock. Harden’s former teammate in Oklahoma and now new teammate in Houston Russell Westbrook, a former league MVP himself, posted his second triple double of the season by finishing with 17 markers, 10 boards, and 12 dimes for the Rockets, who improved their record to 3 wins and a lone loss. Meanwhile, Bradley Beal scored 46 points, making 7 shots from deep, for the Wizards, who dropped to 1-3 on the win-loss column. The Rockets travel to Brooklyn to next face the Nets on Friday night (Saturday morning, Philippine time). The Wizards will try to bounce back Saturday night (Sunday morning, Philippine time), as they host the Minnesota Timberwolves in Washington. How they scored: Rockets 159 – Harden 59, Capela 21, Westbrook 17, House Jr. 16, Gordon 15, Rivers 11, Tucker 9, Anderson 3, Sefolosha 3, McLemore 3, Chandler 2 Wizards 158 – Beal 46, Hachimura 23, Bertans 21, Thomas 17, Brown 14, Bryant 13, Wagner 12, Bonga 6, Smith 6 AROUND THE LEAGUE: (Road Team – Home Team) MIN 95 – 117 PHI CHI 111 – 117 CLE NY 83 – 95 ORL DET 113 – 125 TOR MIL 105 – 116 BOS IND 118 – 108 BKN POR 102 – 99 OKC LAC 96 – 110 UTAH CHA 118 – 111 SAC PHX 121 – 110 GSW GAMES TODAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2019 CT: MIA @ ATL 7:00 AM CT DEN @ NOP 9:30 AM CT SAS @ LAC 10:30 AM CT Click here to view a list of other articles written by Reylan Loberternos.  |
