Harden scores 35 points to lead Rockets to 107-95 win over Raptors
TORONTO — What used to be the Toronto Raptors’ beloved “Bench Mob” has seen better days.
Toronto’s second unit couldn’t sustain a big third quarter and a 22-point comeback by the starters on Tuesday, and the Raptors dropped an ugly 107-95 decision to James Harden and the Houston Rockets.
Kawhi Leonard had 26 points to lead the Raptors (46-19), who dug themselves a 22-point deficit in the second quarter, made a game of it in the third, and saw their momentum hit a brick wall with the bench in the fourth.
