James Harden had a big night and the Houston Rockets beat the Boston Celtics at the Toyota Center, 127-113. A game that was very entertaining through three quarters turned sour for the Celtics in the 4th quarter as the Rockets ran away with the victory on their home floor.
Kyrie Irving had a solid game, scoring 23 points and dishing 11 assists while shooting 53.8% from the floor, including his usual stock of highlight-reel offense. Marcus Morris scored 19 points to go with 6 rebounds before being ejected late in the 4th with his 2nd technical foul, while Jaylen Brown chipped in 18 points off the bench in the losing effort.
