SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — James Harden and the Houston Rockets are finding their rhythm at the right time.

Looks as if some help is on the way, too.

Harden made eight 3-pointers and scored 36 points, helping Houston beat the Sacramento Kings 127-101 on Wednesday night.

«We played very, very well,» Harden said. «We’re kind of catching a momentum and it feels pretty good. It’s even more exciting once we get our full roster back.»

The Rockets closed out a four-game trip with their third consecutive victory, and they appeared to be on the verge of adding Iman Shumpert to their array of talented shooters. Gerald Green matched his season high with 25 points, and Eric Gordon scored 20 points.

Houston, Sacramento and Cleveland were working on a trade that most notably will move Shumpert from the Kings to the Rockets. Houston is sending Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss to the Cavaliers. Alec Burks — now traded for the second time this season, after starting the year in Utah — will go from the Cavaliers to the Kings.

SACRAMENTO, California (AP) – James Harden y los Houston Rockets están encontrando su ritmo en el momento adecuado.

Parece que también hay ayuda en camino.

Harden anotó ocho triples y anotó 36 puntos, ayudando a Houston a vencer a Sacramento Kings por 127-101 el miércoles por la noche.

«Jugamos muy, muy bien», dijo Harden. «Estamos captando un impulso y se siente bastante bien. Es aún más emocionante una vez que recuperamos nuestra lista completa».

Los Rockets cerraron un viaje de cuatro juegos con su tercera victoria consecutiva, y parecían estar a punto de agregar a Iman Shumpert a su selección de talentosos tiradores. Gerald Green igualó su récord de temporada con 25 puntos, y Eric Gordon anotó 20 puntos.

Houston, Sacramento y Cleveland estaban trabajando en un intercambio que notablemente moverá a Shumpert de los Kings a los Rockets. Houston está enviando a Brandon Knight y Marquese Chriss a los Cavaliers. Alec Burks, que ahora se cotiza por segunda vez esta temporada, después de comenzar el año en Utah, pasará de los Cavaliers a los Kings.
