James Harden enjoyed his return to Houston to keep the Brooklyn Nets nipping at Philadelphia’s heels in the Eastern Conference.
Buddy Hield shook off a sore ankle to score 29 points and the Sacramento Kings beat the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers 123-120 on Wednesday night. Hield’s status for the game was in doubt because of a sprained right ankle, but he decided to play through it and helped the Kings win for just the second time in the past 12 games. “We've been in a bad funk,” Hield said.
