The Houston Rockets defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 111 - 92 Wednesday at Toyota Center. It was a battle between All-Stars, with James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo going head - to - head Wednesday night, with each managing to put on a show. Ultimately, while the Greek Freak made things interesting for a moment, Harden managed to lead an offensive onslaught that helped the Rockets (33 - 12) pull away in the fourth quarter. Harden finished the game with 38 points, eight assists and and six rebounds in 37 minutes. Meanwhile, Eric Gordon, who was coming off a brutal 3 - of - 17 shooting performance in Tuesday's loss to the Heat, bounced back in a huge way. The shooting guard finished with 25 points on 9 - of - 20 shooting from the field, which included hitting seven shots from behind the arc. Beyond those two, however, only two other Houston players managed to score in double figures, with Patrick Beverly and Montrezl Harrell each notching 12 points of their own. For the Bucks (20 - 21), Antetokounmpo scored a team - high 32 points on top of 11 rebounds, six assists and three blocks as the team dropped below .500 once again. Unfortunately for the Bucks, Wednesday ended up being a one - man show, with the rest of the Bucks' starters struggling mightily to get the ball in the hoop. While Antetokounmpo went an impressive 13 - of - 20 from the field, the other four starters went just 13 - of - 36 (36 percent). Overall as a team, Milwaukee managed to shoot just 40 percent from the field and a poor 25 percent from long range in the losing effort. Up next, the Rockets will look to continue their winning ways Friday in a big - time matchup with the Warriors, while the Bucks will look to end their three - game losing streak Friday in Orlando.
