HOUSTON -- James Harden had 32 points and Chandler Parsons scored eight points in overtime to lift the Houston Rockets to a 130-125 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night. Denver led by one in overtime when Houston made three consecutive 3-pointers to make it 130-122 with less than two minutes left. Parsons made the last two and high-fived with fans on the front row as he ran down the court after sinking the second one. Houston had a franchise-record, 47-point second quarter, but Denver overcame a 17-point halftime deficit to tie it at 88 entering the fourth period. The Rockets then trailed by eight late in regulation before using a 9-1 run, capped by a 3-pointer by Harden under heavy pressure from Randy Foye, to tie it at 117 with 7.1 seconds remaining. Foye made one of two free throws for Denver before Hardens shot. Foye had a chance to win it in regulation, but his jump shot was short. Evan Fournier scored 26 points and Aaron Brooks added 24 points and 15 assists against his former team. Brooks, who was traded to Denver on Feb. 20 for Jordan Hamilton, started for Ty Lawson, who was out with a left ankle sprain. The game was still tied with about nine minutes to go when the Nuggets scored 11 straight points to make it 106-95 midway through the quarter. Fournier made two 3-pointers in that span and Brooks had one. Jeremy Lin scored 19 points, Omer Asik had a season-high 18 points and tied a career best with 23 rebounds, and Parsons finished with 15 points. Quincy Miller scored a career-high 19 for the Nuggets and Kenneth Faried added 16 points with 13 rebounds. The Rockets, who have already clinched a playoff spot, were playing without Dwight Howard and Patrick Beverley, who both missed their fifth straight games. Howard has missed eight games recently because of a left ankle strain and Beverley is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus in his right knee. The game was tied at 88 entering the fourth quarter. Houston was ahead by 15 when Denver took over, using a 13-2 spurt to get within 79-75 with four minutes left in the third. Miller led the Nuggets in that span, scoring the first seven points of that run. Houston missed three shots and had three turnovers as Denver cut into the lead. A 14-4 run by the Rockets to start the second quarter gave them a 36-31 lead. Omri Casspi and Isaiah Canaan both made 3-pointers in that stretch. Brooks made a layup after that before Casspi hit another 3-pointer to make it 39-33 with about eight minutes left in the first half. The Nuggets got within a basket after a jump shot by Brooks about 2 1/2 minutes later. But Houston responded with a 9-2 run, powered by five points from Harden, to extend the lead to 52-44. Lin had seven points in the last 42 seconds of the first half, including a 3-pointer at the buzzer, to push Houstons lead to 69-52 at halftime.

Wigan boss Shaun Wane has hinted that Tomkins will start on the bench, but the England international expects to be put under pressure immediately by Hulls pin-point kicker Marc Sneyd.Sneyd produced a man-of-the-match performance in Hulls Challenge Cup win over Saints last Sunday, and Tomkins expects the stand-off and his team-mates to provide an aerial bombardment as he makes his return from a nine-month injury lay-off. Theyd be daft not to, wouldnt they? Tomkins said. I know what Id be doing if I was playing against a bloke whos not played for six months. But Ive dealt with stuff like that before. I know Ive had a significant injury and getting back to playing is not about your best form immediately coming out. But Ill certainly add something to the team on Friday, Im not going to be a weak link, thats for sure. Sam Tomkins Hull are on fire at the minute. They schooled St Helens at the weekend and the signings theyve made this year have given them a huge boost.Theyre strong and with Marc Sneyds kicking game theyre going to be a big threat.Tomkins, who made his Wigan debut exactly eight years ago in a Challenge Cup-tie against Whitehaven in which he scored five tries, makes his re-appearance alongside older brother Joel, who has also recovered from a knee injury.It will be the first time they have played together since October 2011, and while the 27-year-old admits it will take him time to find his form, he intends to make a mark against Hull in the top-four clash at the DW Stadium.Im realistic, Tomkins said. Im not going to be coming out Friday and performing to my very best. 2012 Man of SSteel Sam Tomkins is due to make his second Wigan debut on Friday and he has revealed to Sky Sports why he decided to return to the Super Leagu I know Ive had a significant injury and getting back to playing is not about your best form immediately coming out.ddddddddddddBut Ill certainly add something to the team on Friday, Im not going to be a weak link, thats for sure.Ive got my own standards and I know what I need to do for the team.
