Carmelo Anthony amassed 45 points and 10 rebounds for the Knicks but it was not enough to stop them from suffering a fourth straight home loss.
The Rockets beat the Knicks for the eighth straight time even on a mostly silent night from Dwight Howard, largely outplayed by Andrea Bargnani.
Howard had just seven points with his 15 rebounds, though he did make a pair of free throws with 1:15 left that gave Houston a five-point lead.
Harden, who missed the Rockets' 123-117 overtime loss in Philadelphia on Wednesday with a bruised left foot, scored seven straight Houston points for nine-point lead with 3:51 left. He finished 16 of 18 at the line.
The Golden State Warriors edged the Oklahoma City Thunder 116-115 in a tight encounter.
