Harden and Paul prevail against spurs



HOUSTON - According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the only other player in NBA history to start and win his first 13 games with a new team was Dennis Rodman, who did so with the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.


The Rockets, who have the league's best record at 23-4, have won by a double-digit margin 10 times during their 12-game winning streak.


Chris Paul and the Houston Rockets seem right now to be as bad as they wanna be, to borrow a phrase from the NBA great the perennial All-Star point guard joined in an exclusive club Friday.


Paul still hasn't lost a game that he has played for the Rockets, who extended their winning streak to 12 games with a 124-109 rout of the San Antonio Spurs. Paul, who missed a month early in the season because of a knee injury, is 13-0 with the Rockets.


It was a continuation of a sizzling scoring stretch for Paul, a nine-time All-Star who is among the premier playmakers in NBA history. He has scored more than 20 points in five of the past six games and is averaging 24.0 points during that span.


Rockets center Clint Capela also joined some elite statistical company with his 18-point, 10-rebound performance, in which he was 9-of-11 from the field. It was Capela's fourth straight outing with at least four field goals and a shooting percentage of .800 or better, something only Yao Ming had done before in franchise history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.


Spurs superstar Kawhi Leonard, playing only his second game of the season after being sidelined by right quadriceps tendinopathy, did not play in the second half because of a minutes restriction. He scored 12 points in 17 minutes, but the Spurs trailed by 17 points at halftime. San Antonio is 0-2 since the return of Leonard, who will sit out Saturday night's home game against the Dallas Mavericks as the Spurs ease him back into a full-time role.

Four Types of People You Need in Your Life

Imahe
“Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm” (Proverbs 13:20 NIV). You and I can never be the kind of people God wants us to be on our own. We were never intended to be. We all need people who are teaching us, sharing their lives with us, investing in us, and encouraging us to grow. The Bible tells us, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm” (Proverbs 13:20 NIV). In fact, to be all that God calls you to be, you need to learn from at least four different kinds of people. Mentors – These are your coaches. I’ve had nine different mentors in my life. No one can teach you everything you need to know. One person will teach you in one area. Another person will teach you about something else. Role models – These are people who are already doing or have already done what you want to do. Many of the skills you’ve learned in your life, you’ve learned by watching others. Partners – You need co-workers and colleag...
