Trevor Ariza scored the first five points in that span and capped it with a 3-pointer.Harden grabbed his 10th rebound soon after that and got one more late in the third before heading to the bench at the end of the quarter to end his night.The Kings played without three starters with Rudy Gay (hip flexor strain) and Ben McLemore (left quadriceps contusion) out with injuries and DeMarcus Cousins getting a planned day of rest. They were led by Garrett Temples 20 points.There are times when teams are going to have to rest people and that gives other guys an opportunity to step up, Sacramentos Matt Barnes said. We have to weather the storm until Ben and Rudy get back and I think DeMarcus is playing in the next game. We have to pick up the pieces and continue to play hard and improve.Ryan Anderson had 22 points and Sam Dekker had a career-high 19 for Houston.Harden has thrived running DAntonis fast-paced offense and has piled up 53 assists in the last four games.TIP-INSKings: Have lost six straight in Houston. ...
