James Harden hit a three-pointer over Draymond Green and Klay Thompson to give Houston a 135-134 victory over Golden State in Oakland, Calif., in overtime Thursday night.
Harden had 44 points on 13-for-32 shooting, including going 10 of 23 on threes. He also had 15 assists and 10 rebounds. Clint Capela added 29 points and 21 rebounds for Houston, who was playing without the injured Eric Gordon and Chris Paul. Stephen Curry led Golden State with 35 points and Kevin Durant and Thompson scored 26 each.
San Antonio 125, Toronto 107: DeMar DeRozan had his first career triple-double with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists and the San Antonio Spurs welcomed back Kawhi Leonard with thunderous jeers in a victory over the Raptors.
Leonard scored 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting, but the anger Spurs fans showered on him seemed to impact the MVP candidate. Leonard had to take a step back at the free-throw line and compose himself amid chants of "Traitor! Traitor!" and "Quitter! Quitter!" from the capacity crowd.
Denver 117, Sacramento 113: Jamal Murray scored 36 points and Nikola Jokovic had 26 points, 13 rebounds and six assists as the Nuggets beat the Kings in Sacramento.
Notes
• Wizards forward Markieff Morris will miss at least six weeks because of a neck injury.
• The Bulls acquired shooting guards MarShon Brooks and Wayne Selden Jr., plus second-round picks in 2019 and 2020 from the Grizzlies for Justin Holiday.
