Rockets stun Timberwolves in OT for 10th straight win

MINNEAPOLIS — James Harden scored 10 of his 28 points in overtime, and the Houston Rockets rallied from 12 points down with just more than two minutes to play to win their 10th straight game, 111-109 over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.

Harden also had 13 assists and nine rebounds. Ryan Anderson scored 28 points and Eric Gordon 20 for the Rockets, who have not lost since Nov. 29.

Houston trailed 93-81 with 2:04 to play, but Anderson and Trevor Ariza hit two 3-pointers each in a 14-2 run.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 41 points, 15 rebounds and five assists for Minnesota, and Zach LaVine scored 24 points.

But the Wolves turned the ball over 22 times and couldn’t get a stop down the stretch to miss their chance for their first back-to-back wins this season.

One night after setting NBA records with 24 made 3s on 61 attempts, the Rockets started the game 7-for29 from deep. But they found their range in the nick of time, hitting 10 of their final 22 3s, including five in the final 2:38 of regulation.
