Kevin Martin scored 32 of his season-high 40 points in the first half, and the Houston Rockets made 12 3-pointers to hand the Cleveland Cavaliers their seventh straight loss, 110-95, on Saturday.
The Rockets pulled away with a 10-0 run at the end of the third quarter, holding the Cavs scoreless over the final 3:39 to take a commanding 92-75 lead into the fourth.
Shane Battier and Chase Buddinger each added 16 points for the Rockets, who rebounded from a loss Friday at Milwaukee despite still missing Yao Ming and Aaron Brooks from the lineup.
It’s the longest losing streak in seven seasons for the Cavs, who got 24 points from Antawn Jamison but allowed an opponent to score at least 30 points in a quarter for the 23rd time in their 23rd game.
Mo Williams had 18 points and Jawad Williams added 13 off the bench for the Cavs, who have dropped eight straight road games.
