The Houston Rockets defeated the Sacramento Kings 105 - 83 Tuesday at Toyota Center. This game was never close, as the Rockets (36 - 16) jumped out to an early lead and did n't think about giving it up. After what was a dominant second quarter, Houston held a 19 point lead heading into the locker room while the Kings (19 - 30), who were playing their eighth road game in 11 days, looked utterly defeated. Ryan Anderson put together one of his best performances of the season in the win, scoring a game - high 25 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in just 27 minutes. Eric Gordon shined off the bench, scoring 17 points on 7 - of - 15 shooting from the field. James Harden, on the other hand, struggled for the second straight game, scoring just 10 points on 3 - of - 9 shooting, but he did record eight assists and seven rebounds in 32 minutes. For the Kings, it was a fairly uninspired performance, and it started with their star big man DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins shot just 5 - of - 16 from the field and recorded 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists in 25 minutes. Cousins' struggles were contagious, as the team overall shot just 35 percent from the field, 28 percent from behind the arc and a lowly 58 percent from the free throw line. The 83 points scored was the Kings's lowest total since mid - December, and they have now lost two of their last three games. Up next, the Rockets will remain home Thursday to take on the Hawks, while the Kings will finally return home Friday to play the Suns.
