Rockets 120, Bulls 97: James Harden led a balanced attack with 26 points and visiting Houston dominated inside en route to its fourth consecutive win.

Chandler Parsons poured in 23 points, Jeremy Lin added 20 points and 11 assists and Omer Asik erupted for 20 points and 18 rebounds against his former team as the Rockets finished with a 66-32 scoring edge in the paint. The league's most prolific offense shot 56.1 percent from the field while turning the ball over just nine times.

Nate Robinson led the way with 27 points off the bench for the Bulls, who have lost consecutive games for the first time in more than a month. Chicago didn't make a 3-pointer in the first half and finished just 6-for-20 from beyond the arc.

Harden's 10 first-quarter points fueled the Rockets to a 27-22 advantage after one, and Houston continued pouring it on in the second. A Carlos Delfino basket with 7:37 remaining stretched the lead to double digits, and Lin converted back-to-back layups a minute apart to cap a 14-2 run that lifted Houston to a 58-41 edge at the break.

The Rockets didn't relent in the second half, scoring 12 of the first 16 points and extending the lead to 31 on an Asik layup just past the midway point of the third quarter. Houston racked up 36 points in the frame to lead 94-68 entering the fourth, and Chicago didn't get close the rest of the way.
