Trevor Ariza and Carl Landry each scored 21 points for Houston Friday in the Rockets' 105-94 win over Oklahoma City.

Ariza hit a clutch 3-pointer and a pair of free throws in the final 7 1/2 minutes and Landry sealed the win with a late layup after the Thunder had cut Houston's lead to single digits.

Luis Scola scored 19 for the Rockets and rookie Chase Budinger added 16 off the bench.

Russell Westbrook scored 33 points and Kevin Durant added 27 and nine rebounds, but they were the only Oklahoma City players in double figures.

The Rockets, who have won 11 consecutive games against the Thunder, led by five at the half, outscored the visitors 30-24 in the third quarter and started the final quarter leading 80-69.
