Westbrook triple-double fuels Rockets over Raptors

LOS ANGELES: The Toronto Raptors clamped down on Houston’s NBA scoring leader James Harden Thursday (Friday in Manila), but his Rockets teammates filled the void in a 119-109 win over the reigning champions.

Forward Ben McLemore led Houston with a season-high 28 points and Russell Westbrook contributed a triple-double of 19 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists as the Rockets bounced back from a controversial double-overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday.
