WASHINGTON -- James Harden was not about to let one rough half ruin his evening.And the Houston Rockets star guard figures he has enough help around the court that the points are bound to flow for himself and the rest of his team.Harden set aside a slow start to finish with 32 points and 15 assists -- his fourth straight 30-10 game -- and led the Rockets past the slumping Washington Wizards 114-106 on Monday night.Chemistry with everybody is getting there, Harden said after helping Houston improve to 4-3, with help from Ryan Andersons 23 points, Trevor Arizas 15 and Clint Capelas 14. Its just predicated on me making the right decision.Washingtons John Wall broke Hall of Fame center Wes Unselds franchise record for career assists before getting ejected with 33.3 seconds left and his team trailing by five en route to falling to 1-5.Official Marc Davis explained the reason for Walls second technical foul this way via a pool report: After granting the team a timeout, I felt that there was contact and that he bumped me. I wasnt certain of his intent. I told him to watch himself. He looked over his shoulder and used vulgarity and inappropriate language.Wall left with 21 points and eight assists.I didnt do a good job of helping us win, he said.Harden shot just 1 for 4 and had five turnovers in the opening period, which ended with Washington ahead 30-23, and had only seven points by halftime.But he got more and more involved at the offensive end and scored eight consecutive Houston points in one stretch of the fourth quarter, including half of a 12-0 run that gave the Rockets a 106-95 lead with a little more than 3 1/2 minutes left.He uses his body well. Hes a strong guy. He gets away with a few push-offs, here and there, but thats just the nature of his character, Washingtons Bradley Beal said. Got to give credit where its due: He was struggling in the first half, pretty much almost the whole game, until the last quarter and a half.Harden, who entered the day leading the NBA in assists at 12.3 per game and fourth in scoring average at 31.5 points, made all 11 free throws against Washington.Hes not going to go through a whole game where hes not back on track to a degree, Rockets coach Mike DAntoni said.TIP-INSRockets: Harden scored at least 40 points both times Houston faced Washington last season. ... Fs Ariza and Nene both used to play for Washington. Nene, who went from the Wizards to the Rockets this offseason, was greeted with applause when he entered as a substitute in the first quarter; he finished with four points and four rebounds in 21 minutes.Wizards: F Markieff Morris missed his first nine shots and wound up with seven points on 3-for-14 shooting.WALLS RECORDWall entered the game three assists shy of the club mark of 3,822 assists and tied it in the first quarter. Wall then eclipsed Unseld by feeding Beal during a 12-2 stretch to open the third quarter. It dont mean nothing to me right now, because I didnt win the game, said Wall, in his seventh NBA season since being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft. But its an honor, and I have a lot of basketball left to play.UP NEXTRockets: Wrap up a five-game trip at the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.Wizards: Their home stand continues with a game against the Boston Celtics and Al Horford -- whom Washington hoped to land as a free agent -- on Wednesday, followed by a game against LeBron James and the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

CHICAGO -- For three consecutive games, Chicago Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer has passed for 300-plus yards without throwing an interception.But Hoyer does not want to hear about his personal streak heading into Sundays game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.It hasnt translated to points or victories, Hoyer told reporters this week at the Bears practice facility. I think passing yards is kind of an overrated stat when it comes down to it. Weve got to translate that into scores.Thats just the bottom line. Thats part of this business: Its win or loss.The Bears (1-4) have little to boast about in that category. They will try to reverse a season that quickly is slipping away as they host the Jaguars (1-3) at Soldier Field for the first time since 2008.Hoyer is expected to make his fourth start in place of Jay Cutler, who remains sidelined because of a thumb injury. Hoyer is 1-2 in his starts but has performed admirably as he has completed 71.1 percent of his passes (91 of 128) for 1,016 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions in his starts.Still, as Hoyer said, a strong passing game has not produced enough scoring. Chicago is third-to-last in the league with an average of 17.0 points per game. Injuries to starters such as running back Jeremy Langford (ankle) and wide receiver Kevin White (ankle, shin) have not helped.Chicago has beaten the Detroit Lions this season while losing to the Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Indianapolis Colts. The Bears are 1-1 at Soldier Field.Jacksonville has fared slightly better than the Bears with 21.0 points per game, which is good for No. 19 in the league. Quarterback Blake Bortles has completed 61.3 percent of his passes, the best mark of his career, for 1,050 yards, seven touchdowns and six interceptions in four games.The Jaguars are coming off a bye after beating the Colts two weeks ago in London. Two of Jacksonvilles losses (against the Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens) have been by four points or fewer.Jacksonville coach Gus Bradleys team will welcome back cornerback Aaron Colvin from a four-game suspension for violating the leagues policy on performance-enhancing substances. Colvin started 15 games last season and ffinished with 73 tackles, four sacks, seven pass breakups and a forced fumble.ddddddddddddI know that I can bring another element to this secondary thats already playing at a high level, Colvin told reporters this week. Im just excited to get back with these guys and do anything and everything I can to help them.Colvin joins a high-caliber defense that has allowed 304.5 yards per game, seventh fewest in the NFL.You look at these guys on paper, theyve been adding talent year after year, Hoyer said. Defensively, youve got some beasts up front (and) a lot of high draft picks or big free agents in the back end. (Middle linebacker) Paul Posluszny is like the quarterback back there. Hes been in that system for a while. ... Its another defense thats going to be a real challenge for us.Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith has six-plus tackles in 20 consecutive games. Yet Smith knows that he and his teammates cannot take anything for granted against the Bears, who have a playmaking wide receiver in Alshon Jeffery and an upstart running back in rookie Jordan Howard.What is Smiths take on the Bears offensive scheme?Its simple, but they can beat you being simple, Smith told the Florida Times-Union. If you look at the Colts game when they put up 500 yards, its a lot of simple scheme.If you dont play well, youll get embarrassed. Youll get a lot of yards put up on you if you make the situation harder than it has to be.The Bears also hope to avoid embarrassment on defense. The team has allowed 346.0 yards per game, which is ranked in the middle of the pack at No. 14. Chicago has four takeaways in five games.Look for linebacker Danny Trevathan to make a bigger impact this weekend. Trevathan returned last week after missing a couple of games because of a thumb injury. He was one of Chicagos top free-agent signings during the offseason after he won a Super Bowl title with the Denver Broncos.He was rusty from a mental standpoint out there, Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told reporters. You could see where he was off two or three weeks. I think hell be better this week. ' ' '
