The Houston Rockets felled the mighty Philadelphia 76ers 116-114 to bring Houston’s record to 6-10.
Did that feel gross to read? It should.
James Harden turned in a 14-for-28 performance to net 50 points while shooting 50 percent on threes. Dwight Howard contributed 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting with 13 rebounds. The Rockets gave up 48 percent from the field and 45 percent from the three-point arc to a team that averages 42 percent from the field and 32 percent from beyond the arc. The Sixers, by the way, are 0-17 on the year.
