If the Rockets were so inclined, they could take the news regarding veteran point guard Chris Paul and his balky left hamstring as a relative positive, with a Friday afternoon MRI revealing a Grade-2 strain that will sideline Paul for a minimum of two weeks.

James Harden described the Houston Rockets' record-breaking three-point performance against the Washington Wizards as "pretty cool". The Rockets drained 26 efforts from beyond the arc in Wednesday's 136-118 rout at the Toyota Center, with Michael Carter-Williams nailing the landmark effort with 31.1 seconds left in the game.

Earlier this season, as the Wizards got off to another disappointing start, head coach Scott Brooks pointed to the fact his team didn't reach the .500 mark in 2016-17, the year they won 49 games, until their 32nd game. On Wednesday night, the Wizards played their 32nd game of the 2018-19 season. The Wizards have dropped six of their last seven and on Wednesday were blasted by the Rockets, 136-118.
