Winners and losers from Rockets' 117-108 win over the Heat


The Houston Rockets took the court on Wednesday night looking for revenge against the Miami Heat for the blowout loss on Nov. 3. They got it in decisive fashion with a 117-108 win.

Both teams played without key starters, as Jimmy Butler and Clint Capela were both sidelined with an illness. In their absence, Houston’s starters stepped up, while Miami’s went cold for far too long.

Houston snapped its three-game losing streak, and its Russell WestbrookJames Harden duo looked better than ever against Miami. In fact, it outperformed Miami’s entire roster in the first half alone by matching them with 42 points.

Things didn’t go as smoothly for the Heat. Miami’s shooters froze on Wednesday night by shooting 38.5 percent with 12 first-half turnovers. While the Heat did make a fourth-quarter comeback, it wasn’t enough to overcome their poor play in the first three quarters.

Here are the biggest winners and losers from the Rockets’ 117-108 win over the Heat on Wednesday night.

Winner: James Harden, Houston Rockets
