Against the Suns, Harden was 13-of-23 from the field, including 3-of-7 on 3-pointers. “The review really didn’t help us”. “I like Josh and I liked what he brought to us”.

I just have to wonder if he would’ve stayed, he’d be getting a lot of playing time because of injuries to the front court.

Atlanta’s Kent Bazemore scored a career-high 25 points to lead the Hawks past Washington 114-99.

Through 6 games, the Clippers have shot 27.5 percent from three-point range. Bayless scored 14 of his points in the second half, as the Bucks broke a 55-55 halftime tie with a 23-point third quarter and took a 78-72 lead into the fourth.

“I don’t think we played very well”, said Clippers coach Doc Rivers. “He just caught fire early and I knew I should have adjusted”.

Houston played without guard Patrick Beverley (concussion), forward Terrence Jones (right eyelid laceration) and forward-center Donatas Motiejunas (lower back pain). They lost their first three games and have turned things around to win four in a row.

“We haven’t had a rhythm yet, in training camp, preseason at all”, Harden said after a loss to the Miami Heat.

With Harden carrying the scoring load, the Rockets have won their past four games.

Griffin had valiantly rallied the Clippers in the final minutes from what had been a 10-point deficit, splitting two defenders with his dribble for a one-handed dunk and then spinning around Trevor Ariza for a layup. Harden also chipped in a game-high 13 assists and made 13-of-16 from the foul line. But the call was reviewed and the ball went back to the Rockets.

Two free throws by guard Ty Lawson with 13.1 seconds left sealed it for Houston. “We didn’t have a sense of urgency defensively”.

Kings guard Rajon Rondo walks to the bench during a timeout against the Houston Rockets at Sleep Train Arena on Friday, November 6, 2015. Furthermore, none of these big men can shoot, and McHale is determined not to play two of them at the same time due to spacing concerns. “I like Josh. I miss him, had a real comfort level with him”.
