Harden scores 55, Rockets withstand scare from Cavaliers

TOM WITHERS (AP Sports Writer)The Associated Press

James Harden dropped another one of those demoralizing step-back 3-pointers that have made him famous, causing Cavaliers rookie Kevin Porter Jr. to look at Cleveland's bench for help. Harden scored 55 points - 20 in the fourth quarter - and Russell Westbrook added 23 points as the Houston Rockets withstood an unexpected scare from Cleveland and held on for a 116-110 win Wednesday night over the free-falling Cavs, who have lost eight straight and 14 of 15. Harden made four 3-pointers and shot 7 of 8 in the fourth while matching Kyrie Irving's arena record for points in a game.
