Houston: James Harden had a triple-double with 18 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in three quarters as the Houston Rockets rolled to their 60th victory, beating the Atlanta Hawks 118-99 on Sunday night.
It was the second straight game where the Rockets never trailed after a rout of New Orleans on Saturday night that set a franchise record for wins in a season. The NBA-leading Rockets have won nine straight and became the 18th team in NBA history to reach 60 wins.
LeBron James had 37 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Brooklyn Nets for their fifth straight victory.
James kept up his latest sensational stretch by going 14 for 19 from the floor. He reached 2,000 points in a season for the 10th time, joining Karl Malone and Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history to do that.
