Devon Booker was masterful in his 44 points, nine assists, eight rebounds performance. The guard shot an efficient 13 of 24 from the field and 5 of 11 from the perimeter.
Frank Kaminsky (20), Cameron Johnson (18), Kelly Oubre Jr. (14), Ricky Rubio (13) and Mikal Bridges (11) were the other double-figure contributors.
Team leaders in stat categories are Devin Booker with 25.0 points and 50.7% field goal percentage. Ricky Rubio is the assist leader (8.7) while Dario Saric tops rebounding efforts (7.0). Kelly Oubre Jr. leads the two hustle categories of steals (1.5) and blocks (0.7).
Aron Baynes missed the past three games nursing a calf injury with the team listing him as questionable for the game Saturday versus the Rockets. The date for Deandre Ayton’s return is drawing nearer as he’ll complete his suspension on December 16.
Houston Rockets
After scoring 60 points in a win versus the Hawks and 50 points in a losing effort against the Spurs, James Harden was limited to 23 points in Toronto.
[dfads params=’groups=20599&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
With so much defensive attention on Harden, it left his teammates wide open and they were more than happy for the opportunity. Virtually everyone not named Harden, Westbrook or Capela got double or triple their normal field goal attempts.
Houston hit 22 triples on a season-high 55 perimeter shots. Ben McLemore led the way scoring 28 points connecting on eight of his 17 triple attempts. PJ Tucker delivered a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds. Danuel House Jr. scored 16.
Russell Westbrook registered a triple-double including 11 assists and 13 rebounds but his 27 points were on a highly inefficient 7 of 27 from the field.
Team leaders feature Harden in scoring (38.7), assists (7.5) and steals (2.0) while Capela leads in rebounding (14.9), field goal percent (64.0) and blocks (2.0).
Eric Gordon (knee) is out until late December. Gerald Green will be out until early May after surgery to repair a broken bone in his foot. Nene (groin) remains out with an uncertain return date.

Perhaps the biggest question is whether James Harden and Mike D’Antoni figured out how much more difficult they are to defend when the entire Rockets team is involved in the offense. Odds are the supplementary players on Houston sure hope so.
