James Harden’s 40 points help Rockets snap Raptors’ 12-game home win streak

James Harden had 40 points and 14 assists, and the Houston Rockets beat Toronto, 113-107, on Sunday night to end the Raptors’ franchise-record, 12-game home winning streak.

The Raptors lost at home for the first time since Jan. 3 against the Chicago Bulls.

The Rockets also snapped their eight-game losing streak north of the border, winning in Toronto for the first time since the 2006-07 season.

Corey Brewer had 23 points off the bench for the Rockets, who trailed by as many as 18 points in the second quarter. Dwight Howard added 21 points and 11 rebounds.

Luis Scola led the Raptors with 21 points, while DeMar DeRozan had 19.

Trevor Ariza’s three-pointer with 4:43 remaining gave the Rockets their first lead since midway through the first quarter. Houston built on that advantage with an alley-oop dunk from Howard, before Patrick Patterson tied it at 102 with a three-pointer with 3:38 to play.

Howard fouled out with 2:08 left and DeRozan made one free throw to put the Raptors back on top. But Harden, who had 20 points in the quarter, scored the next five points on a three-pointer and a pair of free throws to put Houston up by four points with 1:18 remaining.

A flagrant foul by DeRozan on Patrick Beverley with 1:02 to go saw the Houston point guard shoot one of two from the free-throw line to increase the lead to five, before Clint Capela’s dunk took the game beyond Toronto’s reach.
