Houston Rockets beat Cleveland Cavaliers, 95-85

Aaron Brooks scored 27 points, Trevor Ariza scored 26 and the Houston Rockets held LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to one of their worst offensive performances of the season in a 95-85 win Wednesday night.

James scored 27 points but was only eight for 21 from the field. No other starter reached double figures for the Cavaliers, who matched their season-low points total. They outrebounded Houston, 47-37, but committed 20 turnovers and mustered only 19 points in each of the first and third quarters.

Houston shot 52% (13 of 25) in the first quarter and led, 33-19.
