Description:

Chris Paul (13/10) returned from a three-game absence as the Rockets extended their winning streak to 10 games with a 118-86 rout of Chicago at Toyota Center in Houston. Eric Gordon continued his run of elite shooting with a team-high 31 points on 11-of-17 from the field, including eight of Houston's 18 made three-pointers as a team.

With the win, the Rockets (61-14) reduced their "magic number" to two games to clinch the West's No. 1 seed over idle Golden State (54-19). Houston, which has won 31 of its last 33 games overall, is now on its third winning streak of 10+ games this season.

James Harden and center Clint Capela each sat out vs. the Bulls (24-50) for precautionary maintenance reasons, while forward Luc Mbah a Moute missed his third consecutive game with a minor case of tendonitis in his left knee.

Our postgame show breaks down those storylines and more from Tuesday's win, including how continued blowouts (Houston led by as much as 83-43) are helpful in managing the minutes of players who aren't taking the night off.
