Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 19, 2025

Houston's recent offensive prowess—126.2 points per game over its last 10—met a Cleveland defense allowing 116.7 nightly, yet the Rockets still had to survive a fourth-quarter shootout to escape with a 114-104 win. The teams combined for 52 points in the opening quarter and 45 in the second, a sluggish first half that totaled 97 combined, but the second half erupted with 121 combined points. The deciding surge came in the fourth, when Houston and Cleveland combined for 74 points, the game's highest-scoring quarter by far.

Alperen Sengun led Houston with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Kevin Durant added 20 points and Aaron Holiday chipped in 18. Cleveland kept pace through De'Andre Hunter's 25 points and Donovan Mitchell's 21, but couldn't find enough offensive consistency. Evan Mobley provided 18 points and 6 rebounds off the bench for the hosts.

The game's 218 combined points fell short of expectations given the recent trends, finishing well below what either team had shown over their last 10 contests. Houston's depth and Sengun's all-around play ultimately separated the teams down the stretch, as Cleveland's 104 points left them eight short of the final margin.
