HOUSTON, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Chase Budinger scored 10 of his 21 points during a stunning 23-point run in the second half Friday, pushing the Houston Rockets to a 103-76 win over Washington.
Houston's lead was only eight with 2:30 left in the third period when the Rockets went on their surge. Washington went scoreless for almost 8 minutes and failed in its bid to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.
The Wizards won only their third game of the season Wednesday with a 17-point decision over Charlotte.
Budinger made 8-of-14 shots from the field from off the bench and played 25 minutes after having seen no action at all in Houston's previous three games.
He helped pick up the slack created with leading scorer Kevin Martin out due to a sort right foot. Luis Scola added 19 points for Houston, a winner in eight of its last nine games.
Washington remained the only team in the NBA without a road win this season, having dropped all eight away from home. John Wall led the Wizards with 17 points.
