Mark Berman: #Rockets beat New Orleans 117-109. James Harden 40 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists. @Danuel House (two critical threes in the fourth quarter): 12 points, 12 rebounds.
Ariza was no longer donning Rockets red, but in House, D’Antoni and the coaching staff saw a physical specimen who had real potential as a 3&D stud. His combination of outside shooting, athleticism, versatility and IQ made him the standout choice, and McLemore’s similar skill set only complemented the 1-2 punch of sorts. “He’s more than just a three-and-D guy, although he’s really good at that,” D’Antoni said. “That’s probably what we need more than anything, but I think he can do a little bit of everything.”
Cayleigh Griffin: Danuel House Jr. will play tonight but will not start. Ben McLemore will start, per Coach D’Antoni.
