Rockets revel in reaching 60-win plateau

HOUSTON - In a season in which the Houston Rockets are singularly focused on winning the franchise's first championship since taking two straight in 1994 and '95, they paused to savor the accomplishment of reaching 60 wins for the first time after downing the Atlanta Hawks 118-99 on Sunday night.

"It's hard to do, so it's a pretty special season to get 60," coach Mike D'Antoni said.

James Harden had a triple-double with 18 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in three quarters.
