Toronto — James Harden had 40 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his 10th triple-double of the season, and the Houston Rockets beat the Toronto Raptors, 129-122, on Sunday night for their eighth straight victory.

Montrezl Harrell added 28 points on 12-of-13 shooting in 25 minutes, and fellow reserve Eric Gordon had 19 points to help Houston win consecutive road games over the Raptors for the first time.

DeMar DeRozan had 36 points for the Raptors, setting a career high with his 18th 30-plus-point game of the season. DeMarre Carroll tied a career high with 26 points and set a career high with six 3-pointers on 10 attempts.

Clippers 98, Heat 86

Los Angeles — J.J. Redick scored 25 points and Los Angeles beat Miami for its fourth straight victory.

Chris Paul had 19 points, 18 assists and one turnover, and DeAndre Jordan added 18 rebounds to help keep the Clippers unbeaten in the new year after they closed 2016 on a six-game skid.

Sixers 105, Nets 95

New York — Joel Embiid scored 20 points and Philadelphia reached 10 victories to match its total from all last season, beating Brooklyn.

The 76ers broke it open with a 17-2 surge in the fourth quarter to win the matchup between the NBA’s two worst teams and improve to 10-25 in their first season with former lottery picks Embiid and Dario Saric.

Wizards 107, Bucks 101

Milwaukee — Bradley Beal scored 26 points, and Markieff Morris added 20 points and 10 rebounds to help Washington beat Milwaukee.

Jabari Parker led Milwaukee with 28 points. Malcolm Brogdon added career-high 22 points, and Michael Beasley scored 18 points in 16 minutes. Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was ill and didn’t play.

Grizzlies 88, Jazz 79

Memphis, Tenn. — Mike Conley had 19 points and nine assists, and Marc Gasol scored 17 points to help lead Memphis over Utah.

Zach Randolph finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds as Memphis won its second straight.

Gordon Hayward led the Jazz with 22 points, and George Hill added 15 points. Trey Lyles finished with 11 points, including five in the fourth quarter. Rudy Gobert grabbed 13 boards, part of the Jazz outrebounding Memphis 44-37.

The game — featuring two of the NBA’s top three defensive teams — was a low-scoring affair from the start. The Grizzlies would push the lead to as many as 17 in the second half, allowing Memphis to hang on for the win despite a late 3-point barrage from Utah, which has lost three of its last four.
