Both Randolph and Gasol finished with 21 points with Randolph claiming 12 rebounds. Gasol continued to play despite suffering from a muscle tear in his abdomen.

Mike Conley added 15 points and 10 assists for Memphis.

Houston has lost two in a row following a three-game winning streak. Chandler Parsons and Donatas Motiejunas both had 16 points for the Rockets, who picked up a mere 15 points combined from the normally high-scoring tandem of James Harden and Jeremy Lin.
