WASHINGTON — Otto Porter Jr. scored 26 points, Bradley Beal and Kelly Oubre Jr. had 21 each, and the Washington Wizards beat Houston 121-103 Friday night (Saturday in Manila) for the high-scoring Rockets’ fifth straight loss. It’s the longest skid for Houston since dropping seven straight from Jan. 9-19, 2013. NBA scoring leader James Harden matched his season low with 20 points for the Rockets. Chris Paul returned after missing three games with a strained groin and had eight points and six assists in 26 minutes. Houston has by far the most 3-pointers in the league this season but was held to 29.2 percent (14 for 48) from deep.
