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. “James, to his credit, didn’t force anything,” Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said. The Raptors briefly edged ahead in the third, but the Rockets responded and never trailed in the fourth. Suns center Frank Kaminsky scored six points and Ricky Rubio added four in overtime as Phoenix pulled away for the win. Embiid finished with 26 points and 21 rebounds and Simmons added 17 points and 10 assists, but the Sixers fell to 5-7 in away games.
