HOUSTON - James Harden and the Houston Rockets got a lift from two unlikely sources on Wednesday night.Harden scored 26 points on 10-for-31 shooting in Houstons 102-89 victory over the Sacramento Kings, and Donatas Motiejunas and Isaiah Canaan each stepped up for the Rockets.We kept breathing, our defence just kept grinding away and grinded out some stops, Houston coach Kevin McHale said.Harden also had eight assists and seven rebounds in Houstons third straight win, and Motiejunas and Canaan each set a career high for points.Canaan made six 3-pointers and scored 24 points, and Motiejunas had 21 points.

The entire Kings bench, staff and players, walked onto the court toward the far corner where Cousins was located, but he slowly got up with a slight limp and remained in the game.To see him go down and grab his knee was very disconcerting, Malone said. Hes a load and we cant afford to lose him.The Rockets held Sacramento to just 39 points in the second half.Thats hard to do because Cousins is a handful, McHale said.Lacking its main inside presence in Howard, Houston went 12 for 35 from 3-point range. The Rockets reached double-digits in made 3-pointers in all but three of their games this season, including four straight.The Rockets out together a strong start, leading 37-19 at the end of the first quarter.

The Kings and Rockets began the night ranked first and fourth in free-throw attempts per game, respectively.The Rockets have won six of eight since a loss to Golden State ended a 6-0 run to open the season.___TIP-INSKings: Jason Thompson had 11 boards, and Sacramento outrebounded the undersized Rockets 48-41. The Kings entered the game ranked third in the league in rebounds per game.Rockets: Howard missed his fourth straight game with a sprained knee. Beverley has missed four games with the lingering hamstring injury. ... F Terrence Jones missed his 11th straight game with nerve damage in his left leg. McHale hinted before the game that all three starters would remain sidelined Friday.UP NEXTKings: Visit San Antonio on Friday.Rockets: Host the Clippers on Friday for the finale of a five-game homestand.CANAAN FROM 3Canaan went 6 for 10 from 3-point range and is 25 for 59 from long range on the season.Once you see a couple go down, you believe the next one is going to fall and if it does, the next one, you got to take that one, too, Canaan said.CASSPIS RETURNCasspi returned to Houston, where he played last season before being traded in July. Before the game, McHale spoke glowingly of Casspis brief tenure in Houston, and Casspis admiration was mutual.It was a life-changing experience from a basketball perspective to play for coach McHale, Casspi said.

Peyton Aldridge hit four of the Davidsons 12 3-pointers and the Wildcats snapped Daytons eight-game wining streak and handed the 22nd-ranked Flyers their first A-10 loss in a 77-60 drubbing at Belk Arena. Davidson (13-4, 4-2 A-10) did not hit its season average of 82.4 points, but only because it took its foot off the gas after building a healthy lead. Aldridge finished with 22 points, Tyler Kalinoski chipped in with 21 and Jordan Barham, who started in place of an injured Jack Gibbs, added eight. Jordan Sibert and Kendall Pollard carried Dayton (15-3, 5-1) with 23 points apiece, but the Flyers committed 16 turnovers and for the first time all season had no answers on the defensive end. Davidson essentially led wire-to-wire, building a 23-13 lead about seven minutes in after an Aldridge 3-pointer cappped a 10-1 run.dddddddddddd Sibert kept the Flyers close for a brief period, as his three-point play cut the deficit to 28-25 near the midway point, but the Wildcats were too much from long range. Oskar Michelsen hit one of his three first-half 3-pointers for a 40-27 cushion, and it was a 45-33 difference at the break. Opponents were scoring just 58.1 points against the Flyers coming in, and the Wildcats hit that mark with over 13 minutes to play. The margin was double-digits the entire second half, and an Aldridge triple fittingly gave Davidson its biggest lead at 64-47 just inside nine minutes left. Game Notes Michelsen scored 11 points ...
