NBA Game Summary - Brooklyn at Houston

Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Chandler Parsons shot a perfect 7-of-7 from the floor and made a season-high six 3-pointers as the Houston Rockets rolled past the Brooklyn Nets, 114-95.

The Rockets jumped out to a 25-8 lead nine minutes into the contest and were never threatened by the slumping Nets, who have dropped two in a row and seven of eight.

Parsons led six Rockets in double figures with 21 points. Omri Casspi and Aaron Brooks tallied 16 and 14 points, respectively, off the bench, while Francisco Garcia went 5-of-7 from 3-point range for 15 points.

James Harden and Brooks handed out a game-high seven assists apiece.

Brooklyn welcomed back center Brook Lopez, who missed the previous seven games with an ankle injury, but were once again without ailing point guard Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett, who missed the contest to rest. Lopez and Miles Plumlee deposited 16 points each in the setback, while Tyshawn Taylor had 16 points with a personal-best 12 assists.

Mirza Teletovic scored a career-high for the second straight tilt, dropping in 18 points for the Nets.
