The Houston Rockets rebounded after a tough loss to start the week with a pair of big wins against top Western conference teams.
The Rockets dropped a game to the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center, which ended in a league-wide scandal.
The NBA suspended the Rockets’ Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green for two games because of a scuffle in the locker room and they missed the games against the West’s #4 Timberwolves and #1 Warriors.
Luckily for the Rockets, James Harden and Luc Mbah A Moute returned from injuries and helped the Rockets beat Minnesota Thursday night, holding them to under 100 points.
