Kings-Rockets Preview

The Houston Rockets just missed a chance to move up in the Western Conference standings. If they don't take care of business in their next game, they might be stuck in their current position.

Houston closes out its home schedule Sunday night with the Sacramento Kings making their lone visit to the Toyota Center.

After clinching their first playoff berth since 2008-09 on Tuesday, the Rockets (44-35) lost for just the second time in seven games on Friday, 82-78 to Memphis. A victory would have given them a one-half game edge for the sixth seed over Golden State (45-35), which fell 118-116 at the Los Angeles Lakers.

"We wanted to win, obviously, but I think we did some good things down the stretch," said Jeremy Lin, referring to the Rockets rallying from 19 down in the first half and holding the Grizzlies to 33 points after halftime. "We gave them a couple of different looks, a couple of different plays and things we've been working on. Hopefully, this will better prepare us for the future."

Houston lost three of four regular-season matchups with Golden State, so it has little room for error its last three games if it wants to move up from seventh. If the Rockets match a season high with a second consecutive home loss, one more defeat or Golden State win would lock Houston into the seventh seed and a first-round matchup with San Antonio or Oklahoma City.

James Harden, fifth in the league with 26.0 points per game, doesn't seem too concerned about who the Rockets play, especially if they can lock down teams like they did in the final 24 minutes on Friday.

"We get so much credit for our offense (averaging 105.8 points) but when we want to lock-in and play defense, we're a very good defensive team as well," he said after scoring 30 points.

Houston has allowed 98 or fewer points in three of its last four games. The Rockets, though, have given up an average of 109.5 while splitting two matchups with Sacramento (28-51).

The Kings' defense has been a season-long issue - they're surrendering 107.9 per game over the last 29 games and a league-worst 104.8 overall - but hitting some shots early on Sunday could actually help them on the defensive end. Sacramento made just five first-quarter field goals in Friday's 108-101 loss at the Spurs and were playing catch-up all night.

"Sometimes when you don't make shots you don't have that backup to say, 'OK, next time we get it and get a lot of defense going,'" coach Keith Smart said. "When young teams and veteran teams miss a couple of shots right away, they drop their shoulders."

The Kings led 29-17 after the first quarter in their last game in Houston, but they lost for the ninth time in 11 road games in this series, 113-106 in overtime on March 26, 2012.

DeMarcus Cousins, who had a then-career-high 38 points and 14 rebounds in that defeat, has 20 points in both games versus Houston in 2012-13.

Harden's 51 points lead the Rockets in those matchups, followed by Omer Asik's 36 and 22 rebounds. Chandler Parsons scored 29 of his 34 points in a 112-102 victory on April 3.

Rockets coach Kevin McHale expects Parsons to play in two of the last three games after missing the previous four with a strained right calf.

Harden scores 29 as Rockets beat Kings 121-100

HOUSTON (AP) James Harden thinks the Houston Rockets have only some minor tinkering to do before the playoffs begin. Otherwise, everything seems to be working fine.

Harden had 29 points and nine assists, Omer Asik had 10 points and 12 rebounds and Houston cruised to a 121-100 win over the Sacramento Kings in the Rockets' regular-season home finale Sunday night.

Jeremy Lin added 15 points for the Rockets, who've won nine of their last 12 home games. The playoffs start this weekend, and Harden says the Rockets just need to refine minor details between now and then.

"It's about improving our small things, little detailed things," Harden said. "I don't think the home-run plays are going to get us over the top. I think the small things are going to help us be successful in this postseason."

The Rockets climbed into sixth place in the Western Conference. They have the same record as Golden State (45-35) but own the tiebreaker after winning the season series with the Warriors 3-1. Houston plays Phoenix on Monday and finishes the regular season against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Chandler Parsons, who sat out the previous four games with a strained right calf, says the Rockets want to win out and secure their highest possible seed, regardless of the matchup. If the playoffs started now, the Rockets would face Denver, which won all four regular-season matchups.

"Those four games are over with," Parsons said, "and it's tough to beat a team eight times in one season. I'm confident, no matter who we play."

The Rockets didn't get caught looking ahead against the lowly Kings, building an 18-point halftime lead. Harden had 23 points at the break on 9-of-11 shooting, with his only 3-pointer early in the third quarter extending the lead to 24.

Parsons was the first starter to come out, departing with 5:06 left in the third quarter and Houston leading 82-56. Harden was the only starter who played more than 30 minutes and joined the others on the bench for the fourth.

The Rockets have won six of eight overall.

"I think we're clicking at the perfect time," Parsons said. "We're playing so unselfishly, we're playing for each other, we're all on the same page and know our roles and our responsibilities. I think we can't be playing any better than we are right now."

John Salmons scored 14 points and Isaiah Thomas had 10 points and 10 assists for the Kings.

"That wasn't really a fun event there," Kings coach Keith Smart said.

Houston's reserves maintained a comfortable lead in the final quarter. Carlos Delfino scored 14 and first-round pick Terrence Jones had nine points and a season-high five blocks.

The Rockets shot 54 percent (45 of 83) and finished 29-12 at the Toyota Center in the regular season - their best home record since they went 33-8 in 2008-09.

Parsons showed no lingering signs of the calf injury, finishing an early fast break with a reverse layup. Harden had 10 points and three assists in the first eight minutes and Houston started building its lead.

DeMarcus Cousins shoved Greg Smith after a layup and earned a technical foul, his NBA-leading 16th of the season. Harden sank the ensuing free throw and Houston led 27-19.

The Rockets went 14 for 23 from the field in the first quarter then opened the second with a 7-0 burst to stretch the gap to 16. Sacramento missed five straight shots until Patrick Patterson hit a hook shot. Toney Douglas, who was traded by Houston with Patterson and Cole Aldrich to the Kings just before the deadline, hit a 3 and the Kings went on an 11-0 run to cut the deficit to four.

Harden faked out Jimmer Fredette on a driving layup, but Aldrich blocked a shot by Asik and Salmons converted a three-point play for Sacramento. Parsons and Harden made consecutive 3-pointers to put Houston back on track. Houston held Sacramento scoreless for the last four minutes of the first half, finishing with a 14-0 run to lead 62-44.

Notes: The Kings have lost six of their last seven. ... Sacramento reached 100 points for the 25th time in its last 30 games. ... The Rockets have hit 848 3-pointers this season, passing the previous NBA record set by Orlando (841) in 2009-10. The New York Knicks had already passed the Magic's mark with 868 3s this season. ... Houston's 29 home wins are the third-most in a season since the franchise moved to the Toyota Center before the 2003-04 season.
