James Harden produced a triple-double as the Houston Rockets found their offence with a 117-113 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday.
Harden tallied a game-high 35 points with 11 rebounds and 13 assists, including a brilliant feed to Clint Capela for an alley-oop dunk after forward P.J. Tucker did the dirty work by digging out a looae ball on the floor late in the contest.
Harden snagged the pass from the seated Tucker, tossed the ball at the basket, and Capela added the finishing touches for a four-point lead with 70 seconds to play.
"We found another way to win the game," Harden said. "It's going to be a lot of games like this throughout the season and post-season."
It marked the second triple-double of the year for Harden and the Rockets' fourth consecutive NBA win.
LeBron James led Cleveland with 33 points and seven assists, though he committed nine turnovers. Jeff Green scored 27 points on 11-of-15 shooting off the Cavaliers' bench.
"Thinga just didn't go our way tonight," said James.
Eric Gordon scored 20 points for Houston, and Capela added 19 points and 13 boards.
